“If you ever start feeling like you have the goofiest, craziest, most dysfunctional family in the world, all you have to do is go to the state fair. Because five minutes at the fair, you’ll be going, ‘You know, we’re alright. We are dang near royalty.” – Jeff Foxworthy
“The state fair . . .where the four food groups are fried, deep-fried, sugared and on-a-stick.” – maxine.com
My daughter is going with her friends today, to the state fair. She is so excited. I am so excited that she has reached an age where I don’t have to go to the state fair with her. Honestly, I do like parts of the state fair. I like looking at the animals. I never knew that there were so many breeds of chickens until I went to a state fair. However, I have grown up past the rickety rides and the deep fried butter sticks. I’ll be satisfied just to hear her stories. I’m sure they’ll be good.
