Good Clean Fun

Let me first begin by saying that my dreams of controlling a mighty blog empire isn’t looking too good. My way-cool new job takes precedence over this insanely uninteresting website. However, (every now and then) I try to keep it alive.

So last week, I found some good clean fun at the 59th Annual Prince William County Fair. We’ve been living a couple of miles from it ever since it was just the 55th Annual Prince William County Fair and have never bothered to go. This year we went and had a blast. We made it just in time to see the pet contest, where they gave prizes out for the biggest dog or longest tail… that sort of thing. We were disappointed that they weren’t doing tricks, so we moved along to the hogs and goats, which was actually really cool, despite my face.

We wandered through the cow barn, where all the cows were roped up head in, so we got a nice view of their tails. They were actually so close we kind of had to zig-zag between cattle. We really had to steer our way through. Then we went on to the bird barn. A whole bunch of caged animals that, if you look at them the right way, still look like dinosaurs. I had flashbacks of the Reptile House from when I was a kid. To its credit, the bird barn did have nice wide aisles though.

After we visited the carnival where all the real fun was had, we went through another part that judged all sorts of stuff, from the best tomatoes to the best flowers to the best photography. A sunflower won best in show… big surprise there. They also judged paintings. Maybe I should enter next year… It might not be the best but it surely is better than a lousy sunflower.

Anyways, it was a whole lot of fun and makes you appreciate good clean fun. And we didn’t even stay for the Demolition Derby or the Tractor Pull! I can't wait till next year!
