Brown County Fair

Maurice and I first attended the fair Thursday evening with my dad. We walked around a bit, ate some food and took in all the sights. Then we headed to the mainstage to see sweaty Uncle Teddy. Ted Nugent played and he put on a pretty crazy show. He's certainly got a lot of "spirit"! After the show we sat down and ate 2 whole pizzas and 2 orders of hot wings. And a fried candy bar. All very great for the figure...
We are officially on vacation now for the next week! Friday morning we got up early (Collin got up early I should say), so we headed right back over to the fair. We were so excited for Collin to see the animals. The pigs were oinking for him, which kind of scared him at first, but then he wanted to dive right in. He also had no problem with putting his fingers in the chicken cages. For the most part, he wasn't as excited as we imagined him to be... He did think the big fans in the barns were cool of course and we passed a vacuum cleaner which was pretty fascinating for him! After the animals we sat down and had some lunch and then headed home. Everything at the fair is really reasonable pricewise. We were expecting to pay outrageous prices for everything like at most events, but it was only $2.50 for beer, $1.50 for water, $3 for a burger, etc. Thursday night we even brought our own beer because we were expecting to pay at least 5 bucks a beer. And the fee at the gate was all inclusive, it covered parking, entrance fee, rides, concerts... Hopefully Brown Cty will keep it up and make the fair a little bigger every year!
