The Walla Walla fair was in town but I didn't go cause our rodeo is in town soon and I guess that's sort of like a fair. If fairs are hell. I'm already trying to plan out like ok I need to get groceries on this day and then plan on walking to work these days. Hoping if I go to the gym in the mornings I can find a parking spot near my apt and then just walk in the afternoon and evening

 

small town fairs sound like nightmares because everyone will be there

 

I’m not even in a small town but summer of 2015 I ran into so many tinder matches

 

Small town events suck because the towns just aren't designed to hold that many people. So then everything shuts down. Schools have to shut down so trailers can park on their lots. Other places shut down cause ppl don't wanna work or ppl forget their appts so businesses don't bother even operating. It's a hot mess and I live right in the eye of the tornado. Heavy sigh. It's like cool how can we accommodate a town of 17,000 getting 50,000 people guess we'll all just pack in and be miserable

 

that was only because you told them all you'd meet them at the fair and then forgot

 

that kinda happens here with parades but thankfully I can just avoid them, but it's more just a traffic issue then a volume issue, that sounds like a nightmare

 

It's really hard to explain the MN state fair to people who have never been. It's the biggest fair in the country. It's fucking huge. There's so much food and stuff to do. Everyone goes.

 

it makes sense that Minnesota and Wisconsin would have big state fairs because you need to carbo load to endure those fucking winters

 

we live on corn for months at a time

 

we have fried butter at the wisconsin state fair. i'll try almost any of these fatty fried foods, but that is one i've definitely refused haha.

 

How does that even work without it melting? Just bread it and drop it in oil real quick?

 

i'm not sure and i've tried not to find out. that shit just horrifies me.

 

okay nevermind i decided to find out. it's frozen, which makes sense.

 

Oh yeah that does make sense and I just remembered fried ice cream is a thing haha

 

they also do deep fried beer, so melting is apparently not a concern

 

I'd like to finally go to the state fair this year

 

hello

 

these are both accurate, but I put up with both for the food. the people watching is also good.
just did three days (mostly working, but still took an hour or two to walk around each day) at the state fair, and going back to the hometown fair this weekend. bring on the cheese curds.

 

I just remembered another downside to the rodeo is all my fave restaurants are too busy to eat at. And also some of them have a "special menu" for it which means less options than usual for a higher price. Sigh. It's only a week.

 

Crushing it

 

I dig the overalls

 

me too. although, the legs are ridiculously wide.

 

You all are making me want the fair to be now but it’s not until like February

At least there’s fall festivals in the mean time

 

I'm hitting up all the fall festivities and eating all the apple cider donuts in sight

Last year I was sick like the entire season of fall so this is my year of redemption

 

I don’t think I ever want to leave Iceland.
