County Fair Time!!!

[Georgecatl]

I grew up down the street from the Strates family in Orlando.
If you've gone to fairs along the East Coast you may be familiar with the James E Strates Shows.
I always expected to see the bearded lady come out the front door to get the morning paper

I tried the deep fried oreos last year. I could only eat one because I could actually feel myself gaining weight lol.

Cheese curds.....oh my.

About the only fair I attend is the Strawberry Festival in April. Fried alligator, Turtle Sauce Piquante......and the standard fried twinkies and snickers....and ever other candy bar also. And boiled crawfish and crawfish pies. And chocolate covered strawberries.....music AND a quarter million people in my town that generally caters to 15000.

If our fair had boiled crawfish it would all be over for me! I wouldn't leave that vendor for anything, mmmmmmmm crawfish!

There is a county fair nearby that draws a crowd. But it occurs the same weekend as KC. Guess which I have attended far more than the other.

Umm, KC I would hope. :thumbup:

Correct!

And one of my favorite KC memories is when a lovely young lady helped convince me I needed a Tank Buster. But I don't think I'm telling you anything you don't already know.

LOL! One thing I have learned, if you are on the fence about something, just buy it because you can't change your mind once someone else beats you to it.

If I followed that logic, I'd have no money.

Our county fair is in July it was 104 deg. one day, and close to that the rest of the days it was here. It's seems to loose $ every year.
Nothing beats hot fried food in a crowd at 100+ temps. County says they might have to rethink the timing.

I'm not sure I would enjoy a county fair that has temperatures of 100+, that would not make me want to eat the delicious fair food at all. I'm more of an autumn weather fair fan.

Thanks everybody. Starvin now.

Same here. Eat something fried and delicious on a cool fair night for me please.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with craving some tasty fair food.

mmmmm Fair food can be a bit like licking nightclub carpet.

 

[Hindsight]

mmmmm Fair food can be a bit like licking nightclub carpet.

That may be the most disturbing image to ever pass through my brain pan.

Rob, you brought Vegemite to Blade for us to try. Fair food, in my opinion, is much better than Vegemite. Much like Worldwood said, you have to build up a tolerance to fair food. Once you build up that tolerance, you'll develop cravings for the greasy goodness.

German American Festival is tonight! Should be a good time :thumbup:

 

[Lora7]

Woot Woot!!!! I can't wait to have a few too many beers with the amazing Pokey! :thumbup:

 

[Gravelface]

Hey now....I was gifted some vegemite and have to say. It's quite good and am now rationing it out as I fear I may run out!!!!

 

[bigretic]

I don't mind the county fair...all the weirdo's are local...It's the state fair I don't go to.....statewide weirdo's there.
