Alex and I had a big date yesterday and went to the fair. I ate a corn dog, a block of curly fries, and we just had to finish the night off with a funnel cake. I think we both met our fried food quota for 2010.
We saw the All-Alaskan Pig Races, watched the lumberjack show, meandered through barns of cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, poultry, swine, dairy cows, and pigmy goats.
The highlight of the outing was the speedway. Events included Figure 8 school buses races, hornet races, rolling cars, and the demolition derby. The finale was a fireworks show.
Chevy had a display of cars and trucks at the fair. Alex tried this one on for size. I think he looks pretty good.

The cars were all on display before the event and drivers were available to answer questions and sign autographs.

5 and 1/2 school buses racing the Figure 8 track.


And of course, some demolition action:

And, now I’m craving a funnel cake.
