The county fair!
July 12, 2013
This week’s question: Judy asks, “Moire, do you go to the county fair?”
Moire’s answer: Judy! So thankful for such a question this week. Early on in the week I had asked our semi-evil COO, Justin, if I could venture out to the annual county fair. His response (in usual tight-wad, fun-hater style) was, “No, it might mess up that new hairdo you have!” Needless to say, I was highly upset by this as I so enjoy visting the county fair and all it has to offer.
I waited a few days, then knowing he would be out of the office on Thursday, I made my escape! Nothing was going to stand in the way of my somewhat unhealthy obsession with corn dogs. (I mean really, despite the name, one of the best foods money can buy!)
I hopped a ride on an Amish buggy and, as it passed by the fairgrounds, jumped off and ran right in the gate. Now, I must admit my first stop was the corn dog stand. Corn dog #1. Done. Tasty. I then ventured to the swine barn. Something about pigs just gives me a chuckle. While at the barn I noticed a nice, little girl looking very sad. She went on to tell me that her older brother was going to show their prized pig, yet unfortunately he had gotten sick and could not do it. She was too little to do it, and not experienced enough, so this fun activity she had been looking forward to all year was no longer going to happen. Before I knew it I was marching that pig around the show ring and putting it through its pre-bacon paces! Needless to say, we got a blue ribbon.
Next, I ventured back to the corn dog stand. Corn dog #2. Done. Tasty. I then sauntered over to the grandstand where I heard some terrible noises. Apparently the musical talent, Mr. Casey James, was having some problems in sound check. I asked some questions regarding the sound mixing and before I knew it, I was paws-deep in cables and microphones. Needless to say, Mr. James had a great show that evening!
Very hungry and quite tired, I went back to the corn dog stand. Corn dog #3. Done. Tasty. At that point I decided to have a seat at a table in the Exhibition Hall. There was a lovely pie in front of me. I had a bite. Next thing I knew they were putting many more pies in front of me. Odd, I thought, but I kept trying them. Needless to say, shortly thereafter I was handing a delightful, and very excited, woman her blue ribbon for the pie contest!
Finally I returned to the corn dog stand. I mean, who can eat all that sugar without something else in their system? Corn dog #4. Done. Tasty.
And then, sadly, it was time to go back home. All in all it had been a great day at the Davis County Fair. Done. Tasty.
Fondest Regards,
