My Day At The Fair 2017

I had a great day at the North Dakota State Fair on Tuesday. I've had a little trouble posting about it but hopefully the 300th try is the charm.

Carrie CunninghamHands down the best free stage act was Carrie  Cunn

ingham who plays 3 or 4 sets a day. She and her band were very good and I think we will all be hearing more of Carrie Cunningham in the future.

FairRides2017I enjoyed looking at the rides (there was a time when I would have had to ride on every one of them... several times) and the kids and young adults enjoying them. I took several pictures of my son on "The Himalayan" but my trigger finger was actually to fast on every one of them (I got a lot of nice pictures of the couple in the seat ahead of him).

Indian Taco

And then there is the food. My diner was this Indian Taco, which is also a bit of a tradition for for me.

I should probably try mixing it up a little as there is a ton of good food here.

 

I had a really good time and believe it or not I did not spend a bundle of money. I got to the fair at noon and stayed until 7:00. I enjoy going to the commercial booths, walking the midway, and even viewing the 4H exhibits. Oh I also want to mention how much I appreciate that the Ward County Historical Society is also located on the fair grounds. I really appreciate the rich history it offers and the volunteers that work there.

Bob, It has been many decades since I have been to a Fair, and from what I see I have been missing out, glad you had fun, Endre

Good morning Bob.

I haven't been to our local fair in several years.  Frankly, I don't know when it opened this year.

When the kids leave the house we may scale back to every other year James Dray but then again when I think of how many of my clients I see and visit at the fair I may just keep going.

Hi Bob... well, I already knew you were having a good time on Tuesday! That Indian Taco has not got me craving one and it's only 7:15 am!

I really loaded up that taco with jalapenos and olives too Nina Hollander , it's amazing it didn't give me heartburn.

Bob "RealMan" Timm Glad you went and enjoyed the eats! Indian Tacos, eh? Did you bring the Tums with you?

It's amazing that I did not need them Sandy Padula and Norm Padula, JD, GRI NMLS#1483386 because I added about a half a cup of jalapenos to it and ate every one.

I can't remember the last time I attended the state fair in Oklahoma City. Maybe this year I need a refresher course.

I had a lot of fun Joe Pryor and as a bonus I visited with may of my clients who were also there having a great time.

Good morning, Bob "RealMan" Timm ... I love to go to the Springfield Fair every year... yours sounds very similar, especially with the 4H section with animals...

It's good excercise too Barbara Todaro . My fitbit said I put on 14,000 steps.

Hi Bob - State Fairs are great.  Unfortuately in our large state it is nowhere near where I live.  There are some county fairs however.

I had not gone to our State Fair until I moved to Minot ND Grant Schneider . When I lived across the State in Fargo ND we had The Red River Valley Fair and it was pretty much of equal size.
