Raring to Go - Part 2

Aug 25, 2022 23:26

After I returned home this afternoon, I spent 2 hours going through the 60 photos I took at the Minnesota State Fair today. Jon and I didn’t try to make it to all the areas as we are returning on Monday. Typical for me, I ate little … just breakfast at a small cafe next to the DFL booth, a tradition, and later a corn dog while Jon made his way ( Read more... )

Sounds like you're having a great time! I'm not sure how I feel about a pickle pizza though.

No one does! It was not highly rated by fairgoers who tried it.

Thank you, that fixed it. That yellow rose is beautiful, but I have to agree, I'm just not into the concept of a pickle pizza.

Thank you for responding! The pickle pizza is ranked at the bottom of the new offerings for the Fair this year.

I went back and checked to see if we were mutual friends. I checked a button and we're in business. :)

You were just going for the butt, weren't you. Be honest. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was getting ready to say, when did you see Pete, but then I remembered you go the picture from somebody else. lol...
But shouldn't he be call Sec. Pete now? :p

Oops, I messed up getting the sign in the background of the selfie. :(
Did you notice if the sunglass place had blue light glasses?
Hugs, Jon

I don't know of what you're speaking?! (My nose is growing longer.) Honestly, it was a lucky grab. :)

The sign is fully displayed in the photo of the two of us masked.

Yes, I believe the sunglass place had blue light readers.

I wish we had seen Secretary Pete in person. He's a shining star!

* a reminder to bring your coupon book. I'm making a list of items I want to purchase when we return on Monday.

HUGS!

Coupon book has been moved upstairs to kitchen table with list of things to bring along. LOL.........

Pet Pavilion will probably be better Monday. I think Thursday they have Rottwielers. Not my type of breed.
That's my first thought anyway.

What breed of dog is tomorrow?

I've made a list of items to purchase: A Fair poster from that artwork in the Fine Arts Building; a windbreaker at that booth in the Grandstand Building, maybe more coasters, a tie dye shirt for my neighbor Deb per her request, cashews in the Coliseum, etc ...

By the way, I washed the two tee-shirts I purchased. The one from the DFL shrunk. I know I won't wear it. *sigh*

Good for you, the fair looks like great fun.

It is! It was one of the reasons I moved to Minnesota. I attended the State Fair in 1980 while on tour with The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. I've never forgotten how wonderful it was and is ... I'm headed back with Jon on Monday!

That peacock painting is stunning!
Pickle Pizza….WTH is that??!!

Pickle pizza is exactly that ... no tomato sauce, just some sort of dill pickle juice, pickles, cheese and crust. Jon's the one who tried it. Not for me.

The peacock painting is extraordinary. For sale for $4500.
