I had my first visit to the NC State fair today. Me and my friend Joe went together which was a nice break from all the studying I had been doing lately. It was hunger relief day so we brought 4 can foods and got in free. The first thing we did was watch the folk festival. I was pretty happy about getting to some cloggers. We didn't watch too long because we wanted to see everything else. But I did find a video from last year of NCSU's cloggers. They are pretty awesome!
We then walked around forever trying to decide what to eat. Of course, I couldn't make up my mind with all the choices. Joe probably was ready to eat anything by the time I made my mind up. The only fried food I really considered was the Fried Reese's, but I stayed away and got chicken on a stick and fries. I guess my food looked tasty so Joe got it too. I walked away from lunch for $8. Not bad considering some of the other pricy options they had. A jumbo turkey leg would have been $8 on it's own. I have to admit they looked pretty scrumptious though.
After eating lunch we walked through some of the exhibits and saw a bike stunt show. We saw the world's largest egg and some other cool things in the new Science Exhibit. We later came across a ventriloquist. He was pretty funny with his duck puppet. Although, after a while he started to sound a lot like Jeff Dunham with his acts. I ended up getting a frozen banana later on and Joe got some ice cream. The food is what going to the fair is all about!
The State Fair was overall a good experience. It wasn't too crowed and we both had a fun time. Now it's back to work...
