Another Day at the Fair

Today's agenda was Iowa State Fair.

We arrived around 10:30 and stayed until 9PM. Susan's Fitbit said we walked ten miles.

We saw some Republican Presidential candidates. Scott Walker spoke at 10 so we missed that but he was walking around a lot. It was easy to spot him because it was a slow moving swarm of reporters and boom mics.

I got to hear Carly Fiorina speak. She had about 500 people in the crowd and she sounded pretty competent.

We visited the rest of everything we missed on Friday. The fair people report that for the first four days, attendance is 403,000 peoples, which is 43,000 over last years pace.

I totally blew getting a multitude of foods on a stick. I must be getting older because nothing really appealed to me and the deep fried stuff smelled horrible.

I also have exclusive pictures of the Iowa Pork Queen. Here she is in a private moment.

Here she is in a public moment.

Here she is in a poorly timed moment.

The skies threatened to rain on us but it never really happened. We were really glad we hauled umbrellas with us all day.
