Me getting ready to race my duck at the duck race
I was convinced that my duck would win (see the video to see what happened)
These pictures were taken from the top of the ferris wheelyou could see the fair
and see the nearby baseball stadiumSo we picked the best and possibly the worse day to go to the fair. I pre-purchased tickets to the fair and saved us $26. However, the day chosed was Saturday- the same day as the huge Georgia/Florida college football game. Lets just say we were in traffic for probably a good hour trying to get near the fairgrounds (which is right next to the stadium) and then finding a parking spot. We found one a good walk away on a sidewalk and the guy was going to charge us $20!!! I said "No way." We looked a little bit more and found one at the side grass of a house for only $10. We had talked about going home and coming back later, but I think that would have been a worse mistake because when we left the fair there was absolutely no parking anywhere. I have never seen so many tailgaters in my life!
We had fun at the fair, we went to a pig racing show, a dog frisbee show and a duck raising show. We did a scavenger hunt aboout plants, and animals as well. Of course we rode rides - which they had some I have never seen before. We also ate some of the food. Everything gets more and more expensive at the fair each year - it is crazy! Elephant ears, philly cheese with onion and peppers, and turkey legs are $7 each.
We both also got sick. We think it was from the grease smells at the fair. We went inside for a while to look at the exhibition halls and the animals being shown for a break and then went outside again to only begin feeling sick again. It ultimately caused us to leave the fair. We were there for about 5 hours.
