A Day at the Alaska State Fair

 This last weekend, Tony and I got to spend a day at the Alaska State Fair! The only other fair I've been to was the East Texas State Fair when I went down to go visit Tony in Tyler, TX at the Forge. So, this was new for me!

My experience included: the ferris wheel, fried food (of course!), the biggest pumpkin I've ever seen, and a livestock show which in Alaska means reindeer! Hello, Rudolph :)

We also got to watch a lumberjack show/ competition where professional competitive lumberjacks did some amazing stunts for us!

One of my favorite things was that I got to watch chickens hatch! There was an incubator and you could see the little chicks trying to get out of their eggs :) So cute!

Some inspiration for me: We watched a bread-baking contest and now I'm inspired to bake for next year's contest. Not sure what I will make yet... but I'll work on it!

Our Day at The Fair:

The LumberJack Show:

They raced up these wooden poles and they went crazy fast! It was amazing.

Hello, Babe :)

Rudolph!!

Got to see chickens hatching!! Adorable, I want one :)

Gobble Gobble

I got to see a 937 pound pumpkin!!! Crazy! There is a vegetable growing contest that blew my mind.

Looks like a good recipe:

Yum :)

So... I realized I'm kind of afraid of heights... especially when the ferris wheel stops at the top and we are just rocking back and forth...

Not sure how my dream of skydiving is going to work into this...

The bread baking contest:

The judges are pretty intense! Next year, I'm going to enter!

It was a very fun day at the Fair. It was rainy but we didn't let that stop us! My lesson learned: the fair isn't just for kids- there is an inner part of all of us that needs fried food and to ride rides. :)

The End.
