Fried poop on a stick

Friday night was the opening of the Tanana Valley County Fair. A bunch of ruggers all decided to get together to check it out. The main goal, fried twinkies, Snickers and Oreos. Yum!!!
It was a fair pretty much like any other fair. Rides, games, farm shows, the whole assortment. As far as fairs go, it was pretty decent. We started out by recover Schu, our rugby coach/captain from his booth. Everyone split upto find their food preference right off. I grabbed a low carb gyro and a rootbeer. I know, counterproductive. the low carb gyro is a gyro wrapped up in lettuce. Good stuff. Betsy had starved all day to get fair food, her choice, fried shrimp and fries. Jenna, Dippin Dots. Schu, porkchop on a stick. After downing some quick grub, it was ride time. Half of the group bought tickets for the low low price of $20 or $40. Everything was $5. Rides, games, food. All of it. Crazy expensive, but it only happens once a year. After some rides, it was fried snickers time. Then cheese curds, and a trip to the porkchop on a stick stand. Yummy. We finished the night with a quick trip through the beer garden until the Fair shut down.

Mmmm, mushrooms.
