I spent the weekend at the California State fair. I love the fair! I was a little 4-Her when I was young. I had pigs, cows, rabbits and a big dog.<\/p>\n
Not all at the same time.<\/p>\n
But I would take my animal to the fair and put it in the show and see if I could win something. When you take your animal to the fair, you have to stay and take care of it. So I would be there all week long taking care of my crittur and seeing all the sights.<\/p>\n
I got to see everything, since I was there all week. Because I was exhibiting, I got it free!<\/p>\n
Fairs are pretty much as good as the community they are in make them. I thought that the state fair would be much larger than the Los Angeles County Fair, which I visited last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n It really wasn’t, but it was pretty good. I saw a 600 pound performing pig, I learned how to milk a cow or a goat. I saw bunnies and cows. No pigs or sheep though. They were the week before.<\/p>\n We were all looking for the Deep Fried Twinkies, but they had vanished. My brother saw Deep Fried Oreos, though.<\/p>\n I settled for Funnel Cake.<\/p>\n The food at the fair seemed to be anything “on a stick.” There was Catfish on a stick, frozen cheesecake dipped in chocolate on a stick, chinese food on a stick.<\/p>\n This made us consider how you could put other kinds of food on a stick. I thought that a yarn-like skien of noodles would be good.<\/p>\n Then, the problem of how to make nachos on a stick was tackled: make it a thick stick, with a plunger that could be used to push up the cheese sauce onto the tortilla chips, which would be arranged around the stick like a pine tree.<\/p>\n Next year, we’ll need a booth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I spent the weekend at the California State fair.
