The AK State Fair

A few weeks ago, Aaron and I ventured over to the Alaska State Fair in Palmer. It was one of the few sunny, beautiful days we have had this summer. We got lucky! Here are some photos from our day: (All photos taken on my new iPhone. Not bad!)

My favorite animal of the day. He is rocking the fur isn't he!? I bet his hairdo for the day was 80's inspired!

The fastest pig I have ever seen in my life. He took up two pens!

A friendly sheep or so I thought...he wanted to bite my coat. But he sure was cute!

My favorite food of the day and that is saying a lot because I LOVE FUNNEL CAKES but it was trumped by the deep fried cheese curds. I know what you are thinking...it is because I am pregnant. Nope! Baby or no baby, I would eat these any day of the week!

After the animals, we entered the 'ridiculously large vegetable tent'. All the sunlight we get up here works miracles!

An almost 20 lbs turnip. Insane!

I don't remember how many pounds this cabbage was but you can tell, it was B-I-G!

This pumpkin was over 1,000 lbs. That is a lot of pumpkin seeds!

And lastly, the beautiful day. I love the mountains!

We had a lot of fun! It makes me miss the Potter County Fair back home. It may not be as big but they have a lot more animals. And friendly faces of course! And it doesn't cost $12 a person to get in. That is insane to me. But I will be right back there again next year with $12.00 in hand.
