I Was thisclose to Throwing a Childlike Tantrum.

We missed the Ohio State Fair. It was over by the time we planned to go.
I’m so depressed.
I found this picture on flickr…the sign says ” Honoring Ohio’s dairy industry for leading the nation in Swiss Cheese production.”
I attempted to rectify the situation by engaging in a little retail therapy and by becoming temporarily addicted to the most magically delicious ice cream. One day, I will see the butter cow for myself. One fine day…

But let me attest: Rachel was a really, really good sport about the whole thing!
And there was the Skyline, too. (Well, I guess I’d take Skyline over Graeters any time of day.)
There’s a Graeter’s in Westerville close to where my fiance lives. I was quite suspicious of the pumpkin flavored kind, but it was surprisigly tasty.
The Maryland state fair starts next week. It doesn’t have a butter cow, so it can’t really compare, but if you’re in the mood for fried everything and a good barrel race, it’s not too far from DC.
There’s still the Virginia State Fair, about 2 hours south in Richmond. They have rodeos and pig races, all in close proximity to a NASCAR track [a NASCAR track!] What more could you ask for in a fair?
I’m most intrigued by the “Black Tie & Boots” event, where they implore you to boogie in the barn.
Being at a native Virginian, I’d say this fair is much more supremely awesomer than the one on Maryland.
