Rob's State Fair Ramblings, Day 7

 In case you're wondering where Day 6's post went, it was in the form of a Facebook post last night. It was so late after the concert, I was too tired to blog.

This evening was date night! We went to the fair's new venue, The 1861 Club. Thanks to a voucher from a friend, our meal was completely covered, except for a $2 bottle of water. We had chicken bacon ranch sandwiches with a dipping sauce that we couldn't place, but it was amazing. The meal came with a bag of chips. And because we still had money left on the voucher, and because tomorrow is our 4-month anniversary, we ordered 3 half-waffles covered in chocolate. It was very good! While we were eating, we were joined by Pat, one of my former neighbors from several years ago. When she shared that tomorrow was her birthday, we gave her one of our chocolate-dipped waffles. I pulled up some candles on Facebook, and we celebrated. She was pleased and happy. After eating, she took off into other parts of the fair. Julie and I went in to hear the "Dueling Pianos," a group that plays piano and sings a wide variety of songs from different genres and decades. It was standing room only in there, and after standing against the wall for a while, my legs and back were really starting to hurt. We decided to call it a night. We walked through a building on our way to the gate, and scored some free stuff. Yay, us!

We really didn't do much else this evening. Kind of a slow, easy-going night. Tomorrow we'll be able to stay a little bit later. What will we do? I have no idea, but that's OK. There is always something to do at the fair. You'll find out in tomorrow night's blog. Remember to like the post or leave a comment to give me an idea of how many people are reading. Thanks, and God bless you!!
