It's the end of summer and tourist season here in Alaska and to the locals here that means one thing...THE ALASKA STATE FAIR is in town!
We bundled up and drove up to Palmer for the 75th Alaska fair.
 |
| We checked out the 4-H barn and saw some big, beautifully manicured animals. |
 |
| We were allowed to touch the turkey's neck. It was sooooo warm! I don't know why that kind of struck me as interesting, but it did. |
 |
| Boo said that his favorite thing was driving the trucks. |
 |
| Tot Pirate Ship |
 |
| Bit rode the merry go round (perhaps the world's slowest...ha!) |
 |
| Daddy and daughter. |
 |
| There's even a special Fair Train that will take you from Anchorage to the fair and back. It's quite spendy though. "Spendy" is what the folks up in Denali National Park would say when referring to something as being expensive. |
 |
| Had to get his pic! Don't worry, the train was stopped at the depot. We were just crossing the tracks in front of it. We had a nice time at the fair and enjoyed our 4 day weekend together! Now, it's back to getting into a routine. Hope you have a great week! |

So glad ya'll were able to make it to the State Fair! Looks as if you all had a great time. Any interesting "good eats" there?
Love BeBe
Sally, this sure brings back memories... I spent a lot of hours at that fair! I even worked in the cotton candy booth -- every child's dream -- during a couple of fairs. It's so fun to hear about your adventures & see you pics!!! You guys all look great!
Karen, I thought of you while were there and wondered if you had been growing up. We're definitely enjoying your home state!
BeBe, I did have some salmon quesadillas and a donut burger! Instead of a bun, they put it on a donut! Both were quite yummy!
Looks like you had a great time! Curious about that donut burger- have heard of them before, but haven't seen them around here!
