I went to the NC State fair a few days ago. This is one of the few events that I really look forward to attending every year! While I did see any deep fried butter at our fair, there were fried foods galore (my friend even commented that this year, there seemed to be more food stands than rides). I tried so much delicious things! Fried ho-ho, fried Oreo (my goal for this year), fried Reese’s (weird thing – I had trouble deciding between the Oreo and the Reese’s. I went with the Oreo, but one of my oreos was a Reese’s!), Muscadine slushy, Blueberry Lemonade slushy (amazing!!), ham biscuit. I got a candy apple before I left, as I always do, and I went home and collapsed into a sugar coma. I felt so sick!
Since ride tickets are so expensive, we only rode one ride (5 tickets, roughly $5 a person). My friend did the turkey shoot, which I decided not to do this year, and the rest of the time, we really just walked around and played games. I won a stuffed pumpkin on the only game that I`m any good at – the balloon pop!
I`m always sad when the fair is over, but this year, I`m sort of relieved to have my visit done with, I spent way too much money. But since it comes once a year, it was worth it!
I want a big pumpkin!
Made of apples, so many bugs were crawling on it!
Chowing down on a fried Ho-Ho!
