1963 County Fair

Tuesday, August 19, 2008

I went to the county fair today. I went to every barn, every building, looked at every stand, every animal, every display. I considered riding on the carousel, but it needed three ride tickets, and when I finally found a ticket booth it was at some distance from the carousel, and tickets were $1 each. Yeouch!

I bought french fries (small size, with lots of salt and malt vinegar), a $15 ring that I thought was unusual, five packages of dry soup mix (each of which makes 2 quarts!), a frozen custard sundae with hot fudge and peanut butter sauce, and clip-on sunglasses that fit my frames perfectly.

I walked a few miles, I think.

And then I came home.

That's officially the end of summer.
