The State Fair

I can't believe I almost forgot to write about the State Fair. Growing up, my sisters and I always watched the Rogers and Hammerstein movie "State Fair." It was definitely a favorite (I need to look for that on DVD to add to my collection). Well, I went to the fair with friends on Friday night and it really reminded me of the movie. They had so many of the same games that they did on the movie. I love that some things never change. It makes me think that life would be so nice if it were always that simple.
