Fun at the Fair
Posted on 07 August 2009
Thanks to Island Packers for the free tickets to the Ventura County Fair. It’s been years since I’ve been to a fair and Leigh and I enjoyed this one. It was a perfect day with great weather and a small crowd. We first hiked through the halls of exhibits; everything from stamps to rocks to cakes and even a pig race!
Some of the booths gave out free samples of locally grown foods. Leigh got a “free sample” massage. Of course there were the rides…a hugh bungie jump (we skipped that one)>
The rides have changed since I was a kid. They appear more substantial and some are designed to make you sick!
The ferris wheel appealed to us so we took a ride. High up in the air, we had a view of the fairgrounds and everything else for miles around.
Leigh ran into an old friend in an exhibit building.
We ate hot dogs and drank beer as we watched and listened to all of this activity, including a dixie jazz band, vocalists with rhythm and horn sections.
All in all a fun day…now for a nap.
