Fantabulous Fair?

     I'm sure we all know that well, fried foods and the fair go together! They go together better than cake and me! Mmmm! Well yesterday I took a trip on down to our yearly fair with my friend! This was the first year that I had gone without my parents! After a more than needed amount of planning my friend and I drove off to the fair grounds! I love the road to the fair grounds! It's wavy and just amazing, now the one thing I don't like, is, CONSTRUCTION! The signs say go 40 mph through it, no. I'm afraid that whoever is behind me will be going slower today. 
     
     Thankfully my lovely culinary arts teacher let her and I leave 15 minutes early, which gave us time to find some foods to sneak in! Needless to say, 20 minutes later we were on our way to the fair with food and packed ready to go. My plan was correct when we arrived because there was NO ONE in line for the fair yet! I despise the long line of cars to get in! We parked in the first row and after spending $33 we had our admission tickets and wristbands! Woo!

      After arriving we discovered that the rides didn't open til 3pm! We were there at 1:15pm. So we had just enough time to tour all the halls, buy a few things, scope out the good rides. Then sit in line for 20 minutes and complain about the never ending heat and dust of the Arizona Fair! You think with a line they would open maybe five minutes early. Nope. They opened the rides at EXACTLY 3pm. We had til 8pm to have fun and arrive home. We went crazy on all the rides for about 3 1/2 hours til my friend (Who had eaten bad food the day earlier) could no longer stand it. Then we spent the next hour being lazy and watching some odd acrobatic show and getting ice cream! Woo! We played a few games, won some toys and in the end had a great time!

     As we were leaving I bought some wood roses ($1 a piece, but the guy let me buy 3 for $2.50!), I picked up some kettle corn for my grandfather (great present), and continued homeward. My family has always given away our wristbands afterwards, so I continued onwards with the tradition. I ended up offering a lady my wristband and she looked at me like I was trying to sell her drugs! BAM free $30! Why not take it. Blah! So I gave it to another girl who just about worshiped me afterwards and onwards we were! 

     So in the end! Go to the fair! All of you! It's fantabulous! Look for the cheapest day (wristbands, discounted admission) and enjoy! I brought 80$ and left with no money, but some great pictures and an amazing time (also covered in dirt)! So stay tuned for more terrific tales brought to by this glamorous gal!
