The final Friday of the fair has come to a close, and there's only 2 days left!
We started our evening with a trip through the Pride of Kansas building to visit the booths with the best givings: The ONEOK booth and the DCF booth. They have the magnetic fridge clips, pens, wooden spoons, mini-flashlights, lip balm, stress balls, etc. You have to answer a trivia question about ONEOK to get a prize, but they have a paper right there with all of the answers right there, so it's pretty easy to win.
We heard that the Watusi were on the fairgrounds, so we went to take a look at those. The horns on those guys are intimidating! As we were walking behind one of the pens, a Watusi cow tried to fit his horns through the bars as though he wanted to hurt us. We made a wide berth around that guy. I posted a few pictures of the Watusi so that you might get an idea of how big those horns were. And of course, we went over to the animal birthing center to see the baby pigs that were born earlier this week. This pig had 20 babies, and some of them were in an animal ICU. The vet held up the smallest pig and the biggest pig to show us a comparison of the different sizes the pigs were. On the other side of the building, there were some cows close to giving birth. The vets were thinking that they could start labor tonight or early tomorrow. And of course, no trip to the fair is complete without a trip through the rabbit building or the poultry building. In the poultry building, a turkey gobbled right in our face and startled us, Lol. And some of those rabbits were so adorable!
From there, we tackled a few more buildings and picked up a few more free doodads. We didn't get very far before they announced that the building would be closing in 25 minutes, and people were putting things away. We decided to get out of their way. By now, we were hungry. I wanted to try a new product this year, the pickle pretzel. They sell this in the pretzel food truck across from the 1861 Club. I really liked it. Julie opted for the pepperoni pretzel, and we were surprised that they arrived in the form of pretzel bites. However, they were good as well. Julie let me try a couple, and I liked them. Before we left, we wanted to stop in the food court and see my friend Des. She works at Bernard's BBQ and was a favorite of my dad's when we would stop in there to eat. We had a nice conversation, we enjoyed visiting. From there, it was time to go to the car. We had a great night.
Tomorrow is sibling day. My sister and I are going to hit the fair and have a great time. I'm not sure what all we will be doing, but I know it'll be a great day.
It is now past midnight, and I really need to get some sleep. I want to thank you for taking the few minutes to take a read, and hopefully, smile. Good night and God bless!
