Among the many events was horseback
riding in the Coliseum. It was exciting to watch. |
 |
These two young guys with the young lady
in purple hair competed in a robot competition in the Education
Building. It was interesting to watch. They were really in
to the event trying to outdo other contestants in getting their robot to
move balls from one place to another.
Since so many items at the fair came on a
stick, you could purchase a "calculator on a stick." in this building.

Bands were everywhere.
They entertained to the delight of the crowds. Some attendees
danced to the music.

When Mark and Paula were
hungry, they didn't have far to go. Mark chose pork chop on a
stick. Paula had Minnesota turkey on a bun.
|
 |
 |
At least a million chocolate chip
cookies were sold in buckets. New at the fair this year was the
Texas Twist. It is a potato that is turned as it is sliced so it
is one long continuous piece on a stick. Deep fried, it was a big
hit. |

O'Gara's served Guinness
while a bagpiper played for the crowd. It doesn't get any better
than this!

You have seen the Ocean Spray television

of cranberry growers. Great stuff. See:

What fair would be complete without a
foot-long hot dog? Many ordered theirs with sauerkraut, onion, and
more.
Warning!...this may not be a doctor
approved food for those over 60. |

Before Mark and Paula knew it, the sun
was setting over the fairgrounds.. |
 |
Even at night, the fair was an awesome
place to be. |
