County Fair

For some strange reason, we love the county fair. I mean really, there's just so much about it that I shouldn't like. Nauseating smells, blaring music, filthy trash floating about, over-fried food and rides designed to make you puke. But still, there's some primeval part of me that just loves going. So, before doing a stint volunteering for our school at its booth at the fair, my daughter and I just had to take in the sights, sounds and smells of the area. While we just sat on a bench, we had a fun time coming up with winners for the following contests. And trust me, we had plenty of contenders.

• Weirdest hair - this either went to the woman with the really bad wig or the body builder who had his hair greased into tons of long spike hanging off the side of his head. He looked like a porcupine.
• Worst dressed - we decided the girl who chose to wear a hot pink bra under her see-through yellow shirt probably won.
• Craziest person - easily the guy who approached us and asked if he could eat the two-bites worth of my daughter's corn dog lying in the dirt  won that contest. We didn't even know how to respond so he then proceeded to tell me he just got high and that was why he asked.
• Cutest couple - there were lots of contestents for this one, but a couple of punkers (girl had awesome blue stripped hair) were the winners by a hair (LOL - I crack myself up).
• Most age inappropriate clothing - a 60-year-old lady in a plunging halter top.
• Oldest Couple - a woman pushing a walker and an old man pulling an oxygen tank. We're assuming they were heading to the BINGO tent, but who knows, maybe they came to hear the band.

That's it. Nothing spiritual, just more people watching. Gott love all the people in this world, no matter what.
