T Stands for County Fair
Hello, hello again! Thank you for dropping by for this weeks T Stands for Tuesday !
It is corn dogs and beer this week! I rarely eat corn dogs .........unless it is at the fair! So it depends on how many fairs I attend as to how many corn dogs I'll eat in a year........ I CAN NOT say the same thing about beer! Sometimes, but not this year, it will also includes a giant cinnamon roll....fresh.....hot.....covered with icing and nuts............sound like a junk food run??? Yep! that's why we go.....LOL!!
The fair started last Wednesday and will run until next Wednesday. The first Friday is Senior Citizen's Day.......and that is when we usually attend. We get free parking and free admission until 4 P.M. that day, plus it is never packed with people. Since we are well beyond the years of riding neck breaking rides, we just walk around and look at the exhibits, check out the animals our friends GKs are raising and showing. I always enjoy the photography and art entries, and I swear I am going to remember to enter some of Megan and Hannah's art work next year. Why, they can draw and paint circles around what I saw out there! (said with a very puffed out chest!) *grin*
The Kern County Fair does have nightly free entertainment and brings in some big name groups.....country, old rock and roll and some of the music kids today like to hear. They also bring in top name artist, but you must buy a ticket for those...........even though you can stand anywhere and "hear" them. I'm sure it really is no different than any other county fair.
Outside of the art, there really wasn't much that was new to us. The day was clear and warm, only in the 80s so that beer, and a couple more, really tasted good! Today it is 99' (F) right now, predicted 100' tomorrow and then plunging down to the low to mid 70's next week. Summer just doesn't want to give it up yet.
That's it for this Tuesday, thanks for sticking through the post till the end......*grin* Hope you will link up any kind of drink or food related post.....which is Elizabeth's only requirement and join us this week.
Thank you to all my followers who have been leaving me such beautiful comments the last couple of weeks.................you guys are just the GREATEST!!!

I've never seen a county fair here. But, our State Fair was for 10 days the first of September in another city. I didn't go this year, but I've gone in the past. I started looking at quilts and baked goods the last time I went because some of the best ribbons went to the worst quilts, or so I thought.
Even though I'm not a beer drinker, I like the layout with the photo of the beer and corn dog. I hope it was good. Thanks for sharing these and your trip to the fair with us for T this soon-to-be Tuesday.
Happy T-Day Krisha!

Nice deal with the Senior Day perks too.
I haven't been to a county or state fair in so many years.
Not too keen on the crowds.

We don't ride the rides either but we love the atmosphere. We like to walk around and see the animals and the artwork ...cotton candy... sausage on a stick... a drumstick for hubby all required... :) We play a few games...hubs is good shooting out the stars with the little BB gun thingy..ex military so go figure... Me? my years of basketball in high school pay off and i'm pretty good at the basketball hoops...Won a couple of huge tigers one year... :) Thanks for making me think of the fair Krisha... I hope you have a wonderful T day! Hugs! deb
