Haven’t been to the fair yet. I plan on hitting it Monday afternoon after the Governor’s luncheon which is a must event. I love the Governor’s luncheon. It reminds me of a similar event further down the midway at the poultry tent. There’s something about meandering about looking at the various breeds of chickens, all preening and strutting around, that reminds me of this other gathering of movers and shakers.

It’s also a good excuse to try whatever new deep-fried goodie that is the specialty of the year on the midway. The best thing is you can go up to the counter with absolutely no guilt and order a deep-fried chocolate bar or whatever, without asking the guy what he put into it.
I was sitting over at a Starbucks on Bay to Bay last week staring at the cup. They like to put inspirational messages on the cups. At the bottom it noted that the cup was made with “10 percent post-consumer recycled fiber.’’
You know, that’s more than I want to know and I doubt I’ll have to deal with any such information at the deep-fried food booth.
