Fair Day Fare

The Tipton H.S. band theme for their performance was KISS.

Spent most of the day at the Indiana State Fair. Saw some animals, ate fair food. There are days it's tough to get out of bed for the job.

(That was sarcasm, it's not really tough.)

The fair was enjoyable, have been in Indiana for seven years but this was my first time there. Focused on some of the local kids participating in different events at the fair, such as the band and some 4-H members showing animals.



Corn at the Fair?!

Granted, it's Indiana and corn is one of the staple crops they grow here. But I never considered that they might have corn growing at the fair. And this certainly looked like corn that was growing there. 20 feet long, 6 rows of corn growing in the median of Main St. at the fairgrounds. Someone had to go to the fairgrounds at the beginning of the season, plant the corn, probably water it and whatever else needs to be done. Huh. Interesting.

The only thing I missed that I wanted to see were the cockroach races, that probably was interesting.
