State Fair 2016...








All you can drink milk for $2. Not bad, huh?
When I was a kid it was all you can drink for 25 cents. :o


Chicks being born...


This little lamb was less then 24 hours old...




I guess new cars are safer...




How would you vote?

that's so great to watch! Thank you for showing them.

a tater tot?? And that is?

I think it's awesome you can drink milk!! I love milk but you almost nowhere can just order it. All you can drink at events in our country is beer and beer and beer .. and oh yes, some soda too (like cola and fanta) and some water

Tator tots are like little balls of hash browns.

Europe doesn't do milk, huh? :o :o :o

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

so they're basically potatoes???


Nope, we do beer!!
If only they did milk!! I ♥ milk!

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Yep shredded potatoes shaped in a little "tot". Yummy...

I would be in trouble because I don't like beer. :o

What fun photos, I love to see the baby animal photos. That slide looks FUN! Did you go down it?
I had some fried dill pickles as an appetizer at a restaurant a few months ago, they are yummy!

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

No, I didn't do the slide. lol...

I haven't gotten up the nerve to try the pickles, but they smelled pretty good when people walked by with them. :o

[kaishin108.livejournal.com]

I guess the slide and the pickles can be for next year, LOL!!

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I might have to try the pickles next year. :)

Cool to see those pictures!

Are the eggs numbered to see which ones break first?

Milk at events? Here it's even a challenge to find it in a teashop! (Except the cream to add to your coffee or tea of course).

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure why they number the eggs like that. :o

Milk/dairy is REALLY BIG at the fair. You can get milkshakes made from fresh milk gotten from the cows being shown at the fair. :)
The pick a Dairy Princess and they sculpt her bust out of a big chunk of butter. lol...
You can pretty much get milk at almost any restaurant over here. :)

That is really great! Pure milk isn't popular here, people often find it weird if you drink it pure... we do have chocolate milk (hot/cold) and strawberry milk in restaurants, and sometimes milkshakes, but normal milk... very seldom!

Looks like fun.... I hope our Fair is as interesting next month...

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I expect to hear all about it. :p

[davesmusictank.livejournal.com]

Great pics.

Fried pickles - ugh!

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I haven't tried the pickles yet, but they did smell pretty good. :)

It looks like your trip to the fair must have been a great time! I have not been to our state fair is several years, but cheap milk has always been a popular feature. I think New York is the # 2 state for dairy production, so the Dairy Association has a big presence at our fairs.

People say that "Hot Dish" is strictly a Midwestern thing, but that is not really accurate. People in the East make "Hot dish" meals, we just call them casseroles. But, you won't find Tater tot Hot Dish in the East, that is a strictly Midwestern thing. If I were voting at the fair, I would choose "chicken & wild rice". I make that often.

Tator Tot Hotdish RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We used to have something back where I came from called a trade fair, it looks very similar. I can't find anything online about it, but I remember the fun... Sorta.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

A trade fair?
As long as it's a fair. lol...

[elkster.livejournal.com]

I don't remember that much at all, it's nothing like State fairs and long gone!

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Next year come on over to the fair. :)

OMG

[elkster.livejournal.com]

Could you imagine the fallout from that one?

[ellierachael.livejournal.com]

Great photos :)

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)
Do you guys have big "fairs" like this?

[ellierachael.livejournal.com]

There's the Notting Hill Carnival and there's often circuses and carnivals that tour certain areas seasonally, particularly around the coastal resorts. Nothing like that near here that I know of
