I have been informed there is some massive civic get-together happening at the end of this week, and will be covering it. I look forward to informing you here about my discoveries, from odd foodstuffs (served on a stick, I hear) to the amusing aromas of the barns. One novel discovery after the other!
Okay, no. It would be fun to pretend I'd never been to the Fair, but that would run into the ground after a day or so. Expect the usual - photos, tales from the far-flung corners, and videos, including a return to that delightfully pathetic freak show to see if it's the same crew as last year. See you here on Thursday.
