A Trip to the Fair

It’s Delaware State Fair time and if you went by the results of a recent WGMD Opinion Line question – most people responding said they didn’t plan to attend the fair at all.
Â
I went to the State Fair last night – mainly for the Brad Paisley concert and there were LOTS of people at the fair!  There were lots of excited and gleeful sounds coming from the rides on the midway and even more people wandering through the fairgrounds checking out the attractions and the food - even though the booths with the world’s smallest horse and world’s smallest woman seemed to have no takers – not even at the bargain price of 50 cents!
Â
Unless you’re a Future Farmer or 4-Her, looking for the thrill of the midway or some ‘to-die-for’ carny food, or just some great music, then there’s not much for you at the fair. Even though I really just passed through to the Grandstand – I had a blast watching the people and all of humanity taking in the fair with me.Â
Â
There are still a few more days left for you to experience the 88th annual Delaware State Fair but come Sunday – it will all be gone.

I don’t plan to go to the fair but it’s great to know that somebody else in SC remembers the great voice of Annie Haslam.
