MN State Fair – 8/30/12

August 31, 2012

Nick and I attended the MN State Fair again last night. It was a pretty laid back evening. We roamed around and got some food, like About a Foot Longs and corn dogs, and did the mandatory stop at the fish pond. Apparently Nick overheard a dude referencing the catfish as a plecostomus. For the first time ever at the fair, I really took a look at the algae filled pond with the fake moose. There are ducks there! For real! Just hanging out, swimming through the nasty green slime. Who knew? #notthisgirl

After the pond, we stopped at the Tiny Tim stand to say hello to Nuts and Jody before going off to find more food. We watched the evening’s amateur talent show semi-finals for an hour or so. I decided I couldn’t possibly go any longer without corn on the cob. To my surprise, I lucked out and got a two for one deal on a couple broken pieces. I was going to be nice and give one to Nick, but he declined, so I had the pleasure of double fisting the corn instead. It was awesome.

The FAIR-well to Summer Dance Party was in full effect by the time we made it back to the donut stand. It was entertaining to watch, but the best part was the stuffed bobcat surfing through the crowd. It was hard to get a good photo because it was dark outside and the strobe lights were going and the music was terrible. Wait, can music quality affect picture quality? Methinks yes.

Check out more pics below.

MN State Fair – 8/23/12

August 29, 2012

Nick, BRK, and I kicked off the MN State Fair season on day 1! We ate a lot of food, watched the Lumberjack show, and generally meandered about. There were two old school Batmobiles on display, which was really awesome.

They say a picture is worth 1,000 words, so here you go:

2011 MN State Fair, Trip 2

August 30, 2011

Nick and I headed to the fair on Sunday afternoon. We met up with Travis, Marshall and Karen, and their two chil’ns. I started off the eating festivities with Deep Fried Pickles. Unfortunately I didn’t order the kind with the cream cheese filling. Woops. Next time for sure.

We ordered a bucket of Sweet Martha’s Cookies to share—a must when you’re in a big group—and headed toward Machinery Hill to avoid the mass crowds. While everyone gathered around 3rd Lair to watch the skate show, I wandered to the Custom Fitted Toe Ring booth and got me a custom fitted toe ring. It is totally awesome. There’s a picture below. Sorry for the dirty feet. At least you didn’t have to touch them. Here’s a video of a cool bicycle trick to make up for it.

The Sunnies in a Boat at Giggles were exceptionally delicious. Well worth the hefty price tag. I ate them while we watched the Iron Jack show. Actually, they were long gone by the time the show started because we got there an hour early. I didn’t mind. We got to sit in the shade.

One of the highlights of this particular trip was seeing the woman man in the teeny tiny volleyball shorts and bullet belt. From the back, he was very deceiving. From the front, his chops couldn’t be mistaken. He did have nice legs, though…
