You host was unavailable for most of the day yesterday, as the Orange County Fair was in full swing, your host’s sister wanted to go. Off we went…

In addition to lots of good food, beer, and walking around seeing allĀ the cool arts and crafts, crazy vegetables and fruits, and getting a good sunburn, we found time to take in the carnival. Most of the rides weren’t camera friendly, but the Ferris Wheel was.
One of the things at the fair I always find oddly fascinating is the place setting competition.
But my personal favorite (aside from the carnival rides) was the petting zoo. The attendants were not amused, however, when I referred to this little piglet as “Bac-o-Bits”.

I find those gold plates really tacky.
