State Fair time
It's that time of year for State Fairs. Who goes? Who avoids them? Post up past memories. Maybe a few pics of things you have seen. Always some interesting folk at the fair.
MN has a pretty big one. Haven't been in a while. Loved it as a kid. Always liked climbing around on the combines and the touring the animal barns. Pronto pups, not corn dogs...huge difference. Love the brohans who walk around with every empty beer glass they have had day all stacked under each other. The drunk scoreboard.

I'll go to the Central Washington State Fair next month for Sprint cars the first Saturday of the fair. Always a good time. And there is a vendor there with the best gyros ever. Family recipe that's been passed down. And a shaved ice. Damn I love those things.

I don't much like attending the Minnesota state fair. I have a couple buddies that go every year and drink for 12 hours. Sickness. One time they sent me a picture of the only place they could find to sit down and rest the dogs. They were hanging out shitfaced for hours on a couple of shitty chairs next to 3 dumpsters on a 95 degree day

I showed my horse at state fair in Puyallup in 1994. She cut her nostril off on a loose metal clip on her hay bag and they stitched it back on with these really thick sutures and it looked like laces. It was all very dramatic. Good times, good times.
Funny I dreamt about that horse last night. I love opiad dreams.

We used to go to the Union Fair every year in Union, Maine, Pretty much your standard country fair except they had strippers, They were usually next to the freak shows, wall of death, two headed animals in jars, and guy who OD'd and now thinks a snake was his best friend.
Quite a learning experience for a 13 year old.

No one's mentioned hypnotist show ?? Multiple fairs where high school friends got suckered onstage to make complete asses of themselves.

Google "Grady Stiles" for a crazy tale of the "Lobster Boy", murder, and mayhem. He used to "perform" at the MN state fair. My old roommates and I went into his tent; so fucking depressing. There was a tape loop playing, describing what a freak he was, while he chain-smoked and ignored us. Weird days.

Fairs are going strong here in Washington. From now until the state fair in Puyallup I think there is one going on somewhere in the state every weekend.
Walla Walla Fair and Frontier Days is happening this weekend. Lots of cowboys and 4-H (no strippers like Refried). I believe our fair is the oldest in the state.

I drove past the NY State fair twice this week. One of those was after work hours so I could have stopped but at highway speed I couldn't check to see if there was a good concert that night so i just kept going. I used to enjoy them, I should have gone...
