Every year at the beginning of September the Idaho State Fair comes to town, and it is possibly our favorite "holiday" ever! It's a ridiculously huge event, and everyone from towns all over South East Idaho come at some point during the week that it's open. There is a petting zoo for the kids, tractor displays (of course), art exhibits, sales barns, 4-H demonstrations, horse shows, comedy and hypnotist acts, a demolition derby, etc., etc. The best part, however, is the FOOD!!! Anthony and I will go two to three times every year just so we can sample all the food we want. There is a massive food court in the dead center of the fair with hundreds (literally) of food stands. Most of the food you can only get during the fair, and everyone has their favorites. One classic that EVERYONE loves are Tigers Ears; giant scones sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar and slathered in honey butter. I'm drooling just thinking about it...
This year our dear dear friend Messina came for a visit right around fair time and brought our little neicey Bailey with her. So on a Saturday morning we loaded up the Suburban with Jared, our friend Ross, Messina, Bailey, Anthony and myself to take our long awaited trip to the fair...
After taking an afternoon siesta, we went back to the fair that evening sans Ross, adding my parents. We went to the early hypnotist show (which was pretty good, I have to admit, if not a bit tame because of the audience), and after wards hit up the food stands before touring the art exhibits.
Mixed berry funnel cake. Well worth the 30 minute wait.
This is the grand champion cake. That's right, this is an actual cake. You can smell the fondant.
Bailey reeeally wanted to talk to Pop Pop Mike about something and decided to climb over the table.
This is a mostly eaten Tigers Ear.
