The child had a lot of fun at the fair. We saw pygmy goats, draft horses, newly hatched chicks, roosters, running ducks, fat people, skinny people, old people, young people, people in wheelchairs, people in strollers, scones, cotton candy, elephant ears, hot tubs, at least three roller coasters, carnies, barkers, clowns, "live action" animated characters, fire engines, barbecued meat, a fountain, cows, rabbits, pigeons, massage chairs, giant massage hands, the Ferris wheel, the merry-go-round, trains, tractors, cow manure, horse manure, personal hobby collections, a junk-noise contraption, fuzzy hats, bird marionettes, "Spongebob-on-a-stick" inflatables, eggplants, giant pumpkins, honeybees, homemade wine, vinyl siding, KZOK stickers, fair burgers, bottled water, the Extreme Shot, police officers, cats, 4-H kids, bleachers, and much more.
In the midst of all of our wandering and observing and absorbing, we stopped to eat. We ordered an adult Krusty Pup meal—consisting of a Krusty Pup, curly fries, and a drink—and a Krusty Puppy. Here is what $11.15 of fair food looks like:
(And, that didn't include ketchup for the fries, because there wasn't any available!)

The child also rode some rides alone for the first time. This seemed to be the highlight of the day, at least until Troy's Work Table suggested we ride a slightly more "adventurous" ride. It scared the child and left TWT feeling nauseated for a few minutes. But, we soon regained our composure and went on our way, wandering about through the sights and sounds and smells of the fair.
