State Fair 2011

We decided to take advantage of a sponsor day to save money on admission to the fair.  That also helped us decide when to go.  We packed a lunch and headed off Saturday afternoon.  We walked through the food alley, the vendors, agriculture and fine arts buildings.  We  saw the chocolate pigs and submitted a name.  We planted our own flower in a cup and learned about bees.  We walked through the antiques and saw the nature park for the first time.  None of the fried fare caught our eye, but we did splurge on a 2 dollar lemonade.  Kalia was awed by the midway, especially the ferris wheel and I'm sure Tristan will want to take her on it next year.  It was all Fair Fun!


The only thing we really got pictures of was the petting zoo.  It was free, but you could purchase carrots to feed to the animals.  A nice lady gave a few carrot chips to Kalia to feed to the yak.
She wasn't too enthralled at first, but I think she liked the animals more toward the end.
