The Liebs go to the NC State Fair

Yesterday, Joe took a half day and attended the NC State Fair. Joe and I have gone to the fair every year. Ironically, neither of us enjoys large crowds, but somehow, each year, we procure free tickets and go anyway. However, we always have a great time and power through our distaste for large groups of people to eat yummy food.

This year I won tickets from the NC State Fair Blog, Deep Fried, because they choose my press challenge, to turn clay at the Village of Yesteryear. (I dedicate that challenge to my friend Paige from Love Sown, who is an excellent potter – the only potter I know for that matter) I won tickets last year the same way by suggesting they milk a cow.

Joe loves the fair primarily for the food. (OK, I think most people like the fair primarily for the food)

He liked it so much that he even listed foods he wanted to eat at the fair.

Here is his list:

lunch

frozen banana

NC State Ice Cream

caramel apple to go

boiled peanuts

corn

Wisconsin cheese

Here is what we ate:

lunch – Neomonde!

Jude also ate some chicken tenders and NC State Chocolate Milk.

We didn’t ride any rides, but we did see a few exhibits and animals and let Jude play at the UNC-TV Kids Tent.

It was a fun, easy-going day at the NC State Fair!
