1. The smell of fried food - deep fried oreos, donut hamburgers... If you haven't met your calorie requirement for the day, you can easily gain it back with food from the fair. After all, what other time of year can you get fried Kool-aid?
2. The scene you get when the ferris wheel stops at the very top.
3. Feeding the goats, llamas, pigs, horses, cows and feeling their little lips tickling the palm of your hand (ok, this is a kid activity, but oh how I love it so!)
4. When you walk by the Himalaya ride, and their music makes you want to bust a move in the middle of a crowd.
5. The neon lights - this is probably my favorite part. It makes for pretty pictures!
6. The weather - it's usually chilly, and I love the feeling of wind-blown cheeks.
7. Time spent with family - it's so nice for everyone to take a break from the daily bustle and kick it back with a chicken leg and good laughs.
8. Candy apples - the red kind. Oh. My. Word. My poor teeth.
9. Free, hot biscuits and warm syrup. Did I mention they were free? (Yes, we ate four of these. Guilty.)
10. The tradition. Year after year, we make it happen and it's the perfect way to welcome fall.
Make a trip to the fair!
You won't regret it.
