Why I Love The Fair

[swmdrayfan]

Today the wife and I went to the fair. I answered the siren call of the food trailers.

Is that a elephant ear? OMGYUMYUMYUM!!!!!!!!!!

[Tyson L. Sparks]

That is a frosted cardiac arrest, got an extra?

I'm here to tell you, it tasted every bit as good as it looked.
I washed it down with fries and a sloppy joe.

I LOVE the fair!

I always go for the polish sausage, I like the onions and green peppers!

I think it's called funnel cake. Am I right?

That's what we call them here. My wife makes me take her to the fair every year for one. I like them too so we usually split one. I also like to go and look at the photography exhibits. I may just enter something this year.

Hope you guys have rolaids with you!
Jimmy B < looking forward to the fair this year!

You know what they say about the midwest, you fry it and we'll try it!

I missed the Wisconsin State Fair (actually much closer to me than the IL fair) yet again this year. They have cream puffs that are about the size of a cantaloupe. What else could you have for dessert after eating corn dogs and all that other stuff? Well, I mean other than an angioplasty, but where's the fun in that?

Greg, in Michigan, it's an elephant ear.

[JETA]

Yes we do Jimmy!

Our other delicious treats are scones, fried onion burgers and a brown bag full of greasy salty fries.

Well I guess I'm kind of in the south but we have both here. I would have called this an elephant ear also. The funnel cakes we have are usually a little lighter with powdered sugar and more waffle like in appearance. But what ever you call them they are some good eating.

And I thought I was going to see a shot of you on the Umbrellas lol
