MN State Fair 2010 Round 1

Hot, hot, hot, humid & windy! But we still had a blast Monday at the Fair. First things first, for those of you who don't care about the rest, here's my haul of new Konad plates:

Fair deal was 5 for $25, which is a pretty good deal for actual Konad brand plates. I got, left to right:  m51, m54, m70, m78, m80.  And I also picked up a 2nd stamper for creating mirror images, so I can't wait to have time to play around with doing that =)  It came in a set, and I got the double-sided one, but loo how honkin big my new scraper is compared to my old one LOL:

OK, now on to other stuff from the Fair =)  This is my favorite that I took the whole day I think, it's like the horse was posing for me just perfectly:

The rest is all food!  We did other stuff but I guess I was mainly just pulling out the camera when we were eating LOL =)  If you're hungry, turn back now!  We had a total of 5 people - me, my mom, my dad, my grandma & my uncle.  So we were able to try lots of different things because we were sharing & not filling up on anything in particular.

Dad started us off with a foot long hot dog:

Then Mom got a lemonade to pass around:

Roasted corn on the cob - they have like vats of butter that they just submerge these in:

Funnel cake:

Coconut Hawaiian Ice:

Beer - which I did not help share, beer is just one of the nastiest things on the planet to me LOL:

Veggie fries:

Watermelon Hawaiian Ice:

Sweet potato tots, which was one of the things I was on a specific mission to try this year - and they were delicious:

Corn dog:

Rueben Bites (like the sandwich):

More beer:

Root beer:

Grandma & her giant-sized bage of kettle corn - she got it mostly to take home, but you can get them either closed or open & if you get the bag open you get extra popcorn & a twister to close it once you've eaten your fill:

Remnants of a lemonade I almost forgot to take a pic of - I was trying to get all of our drinks so we could count them up at the end, because it was so hot we were buying a ton:

A classic - cheese curds:

Grandma's beer:

Dad's beer:

My pina colada (non alchohlic) in a pineapple - this was pretty good, and the stand was also selling cups of the pineapple they cut out of the middle:

Another root beer:

Lingonberry float:

After I finished the smoothie inside the pineapple, dad pulled out a knife & went to work on the fruit!

Orange Treet (yes, "treet" with 2 e's):

Gyro sampler - although I'm not sure why it was a sampler with only 1 kind of meat?  I also got some cinnamon-roasted nuts around this time but I didn't get a picture of them:

Bacon on a stick - and one of 2 free waters they gave Dad for no appearent reason:

Cream puff:

Coffee:

Milkshake & ice cream cone:

Another corn dog - decent shot of Mom's mani too, I believe she's wearing Color Club On the Wild Side:

Dad got cotton candy to take home:

Another lemonade:

Mom says this is a weird thing to get at the Fair, but Froot Loop bars & S'mores bars for later:

Strawberry crepe:

French fries:

Pork chop on a stick in a bag to go home:

More root beer:

Whew!  Now I'm hungry all over again - and I'm only halfway done!  Because me & mom went to the Fair again on Saturday.  But I'm going to split that into a 2nd post =)

Thanks for reading.
