Wisconsin State Fair

21 Aug

Being the awesome Midwesterners we are, all the women in my family traveled to the Wisconsin State Fair last week. It was a TON of fun, but I think one of my favorite moments from the fair happened before we even got there.

The night before our big day at the state fair, I was trying to find the address online when I started reading the state fair FAQs. That’s where I ran across gems like this:

– Will you have Cream Puffs this year?

– How do I pre-order Cream Puffs? When is the Cream Puff Drive Thru open?

– Do you deliver Cream Puffs?

– Will the Giant Slide be there?

– Will there be food on a stick?

– What time are the pig races?

– What are the days when the animals won’t be in the barns?

– Will the vendors who do the gadget demonstrations be there?

Did I have a Cream Puff? You betcha I did.

Did I eat food on a stick? Heck yeah. (Deep-fried snickers and deep-fried bacon with country gravy, in case you were wondering)

Did I watch the pig races and gadget demonstrations? Yes and yes (I liked the gadget demonstrations better).

I also saw several hundred fat people.

Overall, I’d have to say it was the best day ever.
