Robs State Fair Ramblings, Day 5

 $2 Tasty Tuesday! Tonight was Julie and I's day to enjoy and even indulge in fair food for a discounted price. Many vendors were offering $2 food items. Unhealthy as it is, it's fun to just enjoy some junk fair food! We took pics of some of the items, and some items we dug in and enjoyed before we remembered to take a pic. 

We started off in the Grandstand, where they were selling $2 mini cups of ice cream in a color-changing cup. I chose peach, while Julie opted for chocolate. We saw our friends, the Warners, there and we chatted for a bit. Our next item was outlaw fries, which are really good! They gave us a decent-sized cup of fresh, hot fries for 2 bucks! By this time, Julie was ready for some deep-fried cookie dough. Julie knows the family that works at this booth, and instead of the one cookie dough bite for $2, they gave her a full order of 3! Julie shared one with me, and they were amazing! We had a few encounters with Tiffany and Mariah from church, and we had the chance to chat. We also encountered Julie's daughter and family a couple of times, too. By this time, Julie was full, but I still wanted to grab an Indian Taco. It was OK, but not what I was expecting. It was a soft bread with taco seasonings covering it. I was done eating after that, I was full as well. 

Of course, we saw a lot of our kiddos out there coming up and saying hi to us, so that was fun. Julie also made some educational connections with a wildlife expert who visits schools with snakes and etc.  She has made a lot of good connections this year. As always, we visited the birthing center, which closes at 7:30, contrary to the sign that states 8:00. Nothing new to report. One pig is very ready to have her piglets, and the other one is not expected to deliver before the end of the fair. It's been a very slow year where animal births are concerned. We're hoping to see some baby piggies very soon! 

The fair again closed at 9:00 this evening. When we asked why, no one had an answer. They assumed it was because of the flooding. Since the parking lots are closed for at least another day, there are multiple shuttle sites across the city.  After tomorrow, the fair board will make a decision on what to do with the parking lot situation. I truly hope they are doing something beneficial to make the parking lot more accessible and user-friendly. One suggestion is to pave the entire thing. That would eliminate flooding issues. I am positive that has been brought up before. I'd like to be a fly on the wall during those meetings. 

So, we didn't walk through any buildings or pick up free stuff. It was simply a night for us to enjoy food and be together. We enjoy our trips to the fair, and our feet are tired, but it's good exercise! And just like that, the fair is already half-over! Tomorrow is Wednesday, and we'll just go where the wind takes us! We just like being together and seeing people. Some people have noted that there are typos in these posts. Let me just say that I'm writing this in the late evenings, and I'm tired. If you see a typo, just credit it to my tired brain and be thankful I'm blogging at all, LOL. Thanks for being loyal readers. Be sure to drop a like or comment for me! Good night, and God bless!
