we didn't end up eating any butter on a stick when we went to the fair on Sunday. However, we did have a good time! And, we only spent around $7 for 6 of us to go to the fair! My dad had tickets through work for entrance, food, and a few ride tickets to the fair. For lunch we met Ashley's boyfriend's family at the Beef tent. After the meal tickets we spent just about $20 and we even got 2 free teas. Later we got a carmel apple sundae and a carmel apple which was about $7. The best part is yet to come....as we were walking through the varied industries building my dad found a $20 bill!! he always has his eye out and gets lucky!! the rest of us were too busy trying not to run into people in that building! it was packed!!
We visited all the normal fair attractions such as the massive bull, the horse barn, the varied industries building, the agriculture building, etc. It was very unlike us to not get any funnel cake, shaken lemonades, or ice cream...we were too fried-food out from the engagement party the night before. It was sunny out, warm (but not hot), and a little big of a breeze. It was perfect.
last note: I just read the article in the Des Moines Register this morning about that ride that those kids were stuck on for 2 and a half hours. I'm so glad none of us were on that!!
Love the STATE FAIR! So sad we didn't make it there this year! I hate that school seems to be starting earlier each year, makes it much harder to get out there! Looks like you guys had a great time!
