Reflections on County Fairs

Today I got initiated into the wondrous world of the Carroll County Fair! Many of you may not know this about my Kathi, but she was a 4-H girl when she was younger. So, she was really excited to tread her old stumping ground. There were many things that I got to experience - show hogs, tractor pulls, elephant ears. Unfortunately, I couldn't convince Kathi to get the "Redneck Girl" temporary tattoo. We did eat a lot of fried foods though, so that's a bonus. Beyond the fried Oreos, pretty much all there was to do was look at unnaturally large tomatoes and ride vomit-inducing carnival rides. So, we only spent a few hours walking around. I give my first county fair experience a C+.
