Gone to the fair!

The NJ State fair at the Sussex County fairgrounds rocks! The lobster roll guy from Maine didn't show- I was really looking forward to it, being the only non super fried food at the whole event. We went on Saturday afternoon. I had a corn dog. I eat a hot dog once maybe two, three years, maybe. But I have a weakness for corndogs- thank goodness they are not so common. In Taiwan, when we were growing up, my cousins, sister, and me would go to the top two floors of the mall near my uncle's place and entertain ourselves by playing arcade games, bumper cars, and eating corn dogs. The hotdogs in Taiwan are skinnier, pinker, sweeter and not so salty. I don't think they are any better for you but the corndogs there are so yummy. I give in to them sometimes when I stroll through the night markets.




We checked out the pie eating contest in the 3-6 year old category. The boys were amazing, especially Ryan, the little boy who won. He stuck his face in the pie and used his teeth to get at the crust. The boy next to him was amazed.





We only had enough tme to check out the chickens and rabbits. The breeds were so interesting. This is the best part of the fair for me. I was sorry to have missed the alpacas and the other animals. Daphne, I wish you were here to see all of the rabbits! There were so many and they were so cute and amazing looking!


Then there was the pig race which was too quick but amusing enough.


The greenhouse was a bit disappointing. It could be that the stuff had been sitting there for a week already. For more pictures, check out my Flickr photos.
