Isn't it crazy to think that this time last year, Jay & I were at the state fair while I was 7 1/2 months pregnant? I was still working in NYC and I had flown specifically to eat at the NC State Fair.This year we got to give Caleb his first state fair experience. We had bought ride tickets but by the time we ate and walked around to find the kiddie rides, he was fast asleep. There's a picture of him holding a big green straw and that was the biggest hit of the day. He held that straw pretty much the whole time we were there until he fell asleep.
He had his first taste of: smoked turkey legs, grilled corn on the cobb and cinnamon sugar funnel cake. We're pretty sure that the best part of the fair for Caleb was the eating. That boy LOVES to eat.
We did manage to go on one ride.....we rode the merry-go-round but he started getting a very concerned look on his face when the ride started moving. Alas, I did manage to pawn our many extra tickets to my boss for an extra discounted price.
This year we did not eat the fried candy bars.....but we did see a vender that sold deep fried apple pie and other unusual fried items.....last year, the deep fried candy bars and deep fried oreos were a big culinary eye opener to a Canadian like me.

i'll have to plan a visit one day so i can go to that state fair and eat!
fried apple pie?!?! i LOVE apple pie, i'm not sure sure about it being friedn though.
Yep, the state fair sure is an experience for us Canadians who only have the annual P&E/Playland exhibits.
It only comes to NC for a week or so every year so next year, maybe we should plan around that?
ya, sweet... i can plan to come for that!
