the Mid-State Fair … a little bit of Americana

 a very tired Laura at the end of the day!

Today was the last day of the Mid-State Fair here in Paso Robles, California. The country fair is one of the last surviving remnants of Americana. We have everything in our fair from Monster Truck bashes to Country Singers to food vendors everywhere to rodeo activities. the Jumbo corn dogs are particularly delicious!

Not too many quiche, soy or veggie munchers at these festivities!Good times and Good fun.

what a guy!

I especially enjoy the last bit of civilian manliness that can be safely expressed by bringing the hammer down. Well, I beat it on this day and was able to pick out a stuffed animal for my daughter… aaaah, great to be outdoors!

High ni Flight! 

Laura and Karla were a bit surprised at the swing they jumped on as it took them higher that they expected. Laura was very brave…. although she held on tight with both hands.

Well… it was a long day… but an enjoyable one.
