Fair fun

I went to the Kansas State Fair last Friday. Took a vacation day and worked a two-hour shift at the Newman University booth (my alma mater). The shift was easy and it got me free access to the fair for the rest of the day. On the way to Hutchinson that morning, my friend Laurie (she is a Newman grad, too, and worked the same shift as I did) stopped at the Carriage Crossing restaurant in Yoder for breakfast. Pure heaven. I was too busy eating to take a picture of the plate. But you won't be disappointed if you ever decide to eat breakfast there.

At the fair I was delighted to see this sign in the restrooms:

My Mom is a germ freak and is constantly washing hands and encouraging others to do the same. I always knew you were right and now I have proof!

I also got nose to nose with this camel at the Hedrick's petting zoo:


Then Laurie and I attended the Gretchen Wilson concert that night. I know about two of her songs, but I went anyway. It was fun except for the stand-all-through-the-concert-and-spill-beer gals to my right who were blocking the big screen so I couldn't see a whole lot. Oh well. They were having fun. Here's one picture I took at the concert that I didn't think turned out half bad considering we were all the way up in row 29 of the grandstand:


I went back to the fair on Saturday and worked another shift at the Newman booth with another friend, Kathleen. I was too delirious to take any pictures that day. Sue me.
