A Personal Plea to The Man..

Dear The Man;

I really want to go to the Johnson County Fair tonight.  I know.. I know.. you’ve been at work all day, and it’s really hot.  I am in desperate need for some fair food.

fair food, corn dogs, I love food from the fair

We can take photos of our kids eating corn dogs.. and well, I can eat one too!  You know there will be some kind of BBQ there… and tonight’s the rodeo…

PBR bull riding, rodeo clown

We love rodeos.. I promise that we will not ride any of the fair rides…   So what do you say?

You know you want a funnel cake!

Love Always…

Your Favorite Wife.



Fair Food can Make You Chubby, but it Sure Tastes Good

I had plans yesterday to talk about my experience with Fair Food… but after #5 took several years off of my life by disappearing in the middle of the fairgrounds.. I couldn’t do anything but hold him all night.

So now that I am better.. I want to take this opportunity to talk to you about the food you get at the fair..

I don’t know what this is called… I believe it was refered to as “popcorn” But I’ve never had popcorn like this before. It was given to me my by my friend.. who is about 1/4 of an inch taller than me.. and is entering in the 3rd grade. (that’s his steel toed boot in the photo). I believe he won a purple ribbon for this concoction. It has Giant Rice Krispie’s, popcorn, tiny M&M’s, white chocolate and peanut butter. It was delicious.

(Note to self.. when this kid enters 6th grade he will need to bring this in order to enter in the youth room)

Yes.. these cucumbers were really this bright green.

Peppers or Squash anyone?

Some would say this isn’t fair food.. but it could be one day.. do you see #5 and the man in the background? I wonder what they are talking about?

This is the whole reason I go to the fair.. Giant Corn Dogs.. oh and to see #4 happy.

#5 holding up his giant corn dog.. see the fries on the napkin? They were scarfed down before I could take a photo.

ooo-ooH.. I love a good funnel cake too.
