Great nights at the Fair!
This summer has been a blur.
Like, a full-out blur.
Between baseball trips, work and a few other things … it’s all of a sudden well into August. Before I know it, back to normal (as much as that can be) with work and everything will start to slowly turn to fall.
I’m not complaining — it’s been a fun summer. But whoa.
Softball is still going on (new league, so a different setup), but if things go well, it will at least end before September.
Baseball has been crazy fun — I’ve been to more than 50 games with still more to come — but it has taken up most weekends and such, so that makes the time go even faster.
I’ve been able to get out with my camera some and have enjoyed it. I haven’t, though, done much in regard to geocaching. In fact, I’ve only found 128 caches this entire year, which is on pace to likely be my lowest count since I started in 2008. That’s not to say that once baseball season ends I won’t get a few great days of caching in, but the summer has not been kind to the finds!
But all of a sudden it’s Fair week in my county. Our county fair is pretty solid and it’s usually a good time. I go once during the week just to experience it, and I am doing that today (though, to be fair, part of it is for work) just to walk around and get some sights and such when I am done with the work part. The weather has been fine for the Fair, which is always a good thing.
Later this month, I’ll be heading to the State Fair (again, work-related for part), which I haven’t been to in a few years. It’s always pretty fun, though. Fairs can be a ton of fun with some great (but bad for you) food, sights and sounds.
So how about you? Do you have any county or state fairs you head to each year? What are your favorite things about the fairs?

The fair comes to town for 10 days around the first of October. For years we never missed, but some of the things we enjoyed are no longer part of the fair. I don’t think we’ve been in a couple years. Admission and parking fees have gone up a lot over the years. The biggest draw is the food…there is some good, some bad and some just plain weird. At one of the stands they serve bone-in chicken on a bun and call it a sandwich. What??
Anyway, I’m glad your summer has been so fun. We have a couple upcoming trips that will be fun, too.

I think we all have a fair nearby and usually they are quite similar. It’s unfortunate how the prices go up, but like everything else, the bills get passed to those coming through the gates. I do love me some fair food. I usually get the same things at the local fair and if I get to the state fair, I’ll explore a little.
