Now to give you an idea of what I missed. I love to finish the day with a shake from the 4H stand, they are easily some of the best things you'll ever taste, but time did not allow for it. Then there were stands with fresh cut French fries, fried dough, chicken and shrimp skewers, cream puffs, hot pretzels, frozen bananas, deep fried Oreos, deep fried candy bars, deep fried pickles... the list goes on and on.

Oh yes, the day isn't finished until you pick up a bag of fresh roasted peanuts to take home. These things are fantastic.

Okay, that about does it for the day. The food was great, the sun was high, and I was completely exhausted by the time I got home. Next year I will have to work on my stamina.

The lesson of this is work out your stomach in time for the fair, work on your heat and sun endurance, and eat anything and everything you can.
