State Fair
Whose ready?!
What is the one ride that you LOVE and try to ride? I say try. . because it can be hard to get to the fair, can be costly, and also. . sometimes those lines aren't worth it. . .
What is your favorite treat there?
If you don't go for the rides, what do you go for?
I LOVE the farris wheel. The really big one. I love to ride up to the top and just look out over everything 
) I also love funnel cakes, but Im very picky about them. I like them fresh with a little crunch. No soggy funnel cakes for me. I also like them with fresh warm cherries )
I also really enjoy looking at the contests that go on during the fair. As well as checking out all of the farm animals!
Alright... your turn!
Re: State Fair
They had Apply Cider Slushie?! Oh man!
We didn't go last year either, but our schedules were VERY wonky and we just lost track of time. We're hoping to go this year. I think we'll be heading up with our neighbors

I was just thinking about the State Fair this morning. DH and I are going to attempt a low carb diet in October so I figured one day at the State Fair will be a good cheat day.
We don't do any of the rides... just walk around and eat.
Must have's.... ham biscuit from Cary Meredith Church, funnel cake, caramel apple (to take home), and cotton candy (also to take home).
I haven't ever been to a state fair. Growing up, we'd have volunteer Fireman's Fairs (the fundraiser for the FDs in our area) that sound similar. I always spent way too much money because I love rides, though the Ferris Wheel was always the one I avoided--it freaked me out--especially when they'd stop me at the top! (I'm the one that's gone sky diving and still has a strange fear of heights).
I'm also a sucker for things fried and sweet (great combination, right?) so I could pretty much gain 10-15 lbs on a good night stuffing my face full of all that delicious stuff. Since I'm usually a pretty good eater when I have control of what is offered.
I do not remember the exact name, but it is really good. I believe it is in the village of yesteryear area.
If any wants to get in for "free", Oct 21 is Food Lion Hunger Relief Day where the accept 4 cans of food lion canned goods in exchange for free admission.
