State Fair (visit #3) 9/4/06

On Sunday the 4th we went to the State Fair, again. For the third time. This is the second year in a row we've gone twice in one day (granted we had a one day free parking and admission passes).

For me the only reason to go is for food variety and people watching. Both are, well, interesting. Sweet Martha's Cookies is growing. That's the place that sells pails of cookies that you can never finish and don't taste good the next day. Didn't buy any of them this year either.













I asked Hiroe what this was. About all that we know is that it's not from Japan.
























































Notice that Dad and daughter are keeping a bit of distance between them and Mom. I wonder if she wears that hat year round.












Yo.












As I mentioned... people watching people.












This was part of a parade. Something about motorized bar stools.













Hiroe and the cow agreed on a black and white theme. The guy in brown wasn't as prepared.


























Pondering the fair.


















Then it rained. So we left.












And Hiroe received a warm welcome. Again.
