The NC Mountain State Fair




After a very STRESS FILLED week and a Saturday that was a normal workday for both of us, David and I decided to take a much needed break and check out this fair….OMG had I known the sheer awesomeness of it I would have taken my camera to get some REAL photos, not only was it carny-filled and a midway full of rides that weren't all rusty and falling apart BUT it also had your typical blue ribbon pie contests, preserves, clogging competitions and livestock galore. Tractor pulls, paintball arena....the list goes on and on. Of course a girl like me who grew up in Queens, NYC it was unlike anything i had ever seen before.....don't get me wrong we have plenty of great fairs but nothing like this.....Pure Appalacia Cheeese.....mmmmmm
Oh and by the way that is a 307 lb pumpkin and NO we did not try the frozen pickle pops or that scrumptious sounding corn in a cup BLECH.....there was also deep fried snickers bars...GROSSS
