NC Mountain State Fair
 |
| My view from the chair lift launch. |
It was 80 degrees but sure why not. I prefer fairs at night when the midway lights are dancing, twirling, and spinning. It was nice to get in early though and not have to wait in lines for the rides. (I did, however, break the cardinal rule of fairs: do not eat the fair food BEFORE hopping on the Scrambler, Tilt-a-Whirl, or Himalayan for multiple rides.)
The fair was typical of mountain fairs. Stables and barns full of livestock. Bucking broncs and Brahmas, 4H blue ribbon winning chickens and sheep, goats and turkeys, beef cattle and pot-bellied pigs. Buildings cordoned off for ribbon ceremonies for best pie, biggest watermelon, best jam, best quilt stitching, yada yada.
All in all it was a fun day with family. I am kind of disappointed that I didn't ride the mechanical bull though. Ya never know, maybe I would have been the one who won the $200 prize. (Yeah right.)
Nice picture. What are you doing up so high??
ReplyDeleteI was not actually up so high. I stood at the top of the launch and took the photo. I'm sure if my height phobia were not so deathly I would have had great shots from the chair lifts. Alas, those are most definitely contraptions I will never chance.
