200th post: A night at the Kern County Fair


I don't know if you all
know this about me,
but I
L-O-V-E
a good fair.

I grew up going to
the Cleveland County Fair
but I hadn't been to a fair
in years.

So I was probably a little
over-excited when ads
for the Kern County Fair
(Best in the West!)
started popping up
right after we moved here.

I'll admit,
I had a slight fear
that going to the fair would
be one of those things
that wouldn't taste so sweet
as an adult
as it did in my childhood,
but I shouldn't have worried...


the animals...



the food...




the rides...

(ok so it was a little strange that some of the
rides were actually from MJ's Neverland Ranch)




the games, the lights,
the extraordinary people-watching...



I love it all!

I love going to fairs too! Jeremy and I hit up two here in Maine, one was a dud but the other was pretty good. Fair food is much different here in Maine than in Tennessee - there are less things they are willing to deep fry here (no twinkies, snickers, oreos, cheese, etc.)
