The Wonderful Fayette County Fair PTR 7-23-11

I've been in the writing mood for awhile, and since I haven't made it to KI or any other park here lately, I decided to write a trip report for my local county fair.

For those of you that don't know, Fayette County is located about halfway between CInci and Columbus, and the highlight of our summer is usually our fair, which is almost always lackluster at most.

I decided earlier in the day to head out despite the heat, and some of my family decided to join me. We ended up at the fairgrounds around 6, and it was still over 90 degrees outside, which made standing in the sun almost unbearable. The first thing we did was grab some shaved ice, which while not the most tasty thing, did help cool us down. After cooling down, we decided to go watch the truck pulls, which can be heard from anywhere in town, and can be quite annoying. I shot one video of one of the trucks making it's run.

After watching for a bit, we decided to head to the other end of the fairgrounds to check out the rides. Selection wasn't that great, and with my great hesitation of riding fair rides, I ended up only riding one.

After riding, we got hungry, and decided to indulge in some fair food, which is one of my favorites. I ended up having a delicious pork tenderloin sandwich, while everyone else just ate hamburgers and fries.

It was dark about this time, so I started taking some pictures of the rides. These were from a phone camera, so they aren't the greatest.

And my personal favorite

At this time, it was 10:55, and the fair was closing at 11, I had to go get my favorite fair food of all time!

It wasn't the most exciting day I've had at the local fair, but I did have fun, and got to spend some time with my family.
