One Last Walk Through the Fair


The Florida State Fair 2012 ends tomorrow. By Tuesday, the nearby interstates will be crowded with tractor trailers pulling the Best in Show side-by-side with the not-quite-up-to-snuff livestock. Fold-and-go carnival rides will jockey for position on the highway, racing off to the next big event. The aroma of a hundred fryers cooking up a riotous mixture of deep fried goodness mingled with the smoky tingle of BBQ ribs and chicken topped off with the sizzling scent of succulent sausages and lightly peppered with a hint of live farm animals will quickly dissipate as tents are packed away and the barns doors close.

So, if you would please, indulge me just once more for one last walk through the 2012 Florida State Fair.




Colleen's bunny, Pirate, took home 2nd place. Yay!! 




Look! I found Elvis!
