I love the smell of fried foods at the fair in the evening.

Oh, me too. Even better, I can access Rutland Roast Beef any time I want during the whole week! And then if I want, I can mix it up with some other good stuff. Blackberry or Rhurbarb pie for dessert is also nice. But if your really adventurous, yeah, there is always the fried Oreos and whatnot.

My county fair usually comes before Halloween. Sometimes it's afterwards. I think we had ours since after World War II.

This year's Fair has now officially ended. And, as always, I felt some deep sorrow seeing it go... disappearing until yet another year has passed in my life.

On the whole, this wasn't one of the better years at the Fair. I feel as though this one snuck up on me, and I was not prepared to fully promote our business. With the building that we usually set up our booth in having been renovated, and me just coming off a week of trying to regroup from my OCD attack, things just weren't the same.

But, by the end of the week, I was feeling like everything was just like old times... but without my wife and kids stopping by the final two days, or any of my friends stopping by either, it was a bit hollow. I didn't want to leave, but I didn't want to stay either. It's hard to describe.

I am resolving to be far more prepared to do something cool and different as far as promoting the business is concerned, and I'm hopeful that schedules allow for more time spent with friends and family next year as well.

It can't come soon enough.

i went to two county fairs during my late childhood, both were in greenville, ohio when i was visiting family from my mom's side. my memory's hazy from them but i recall that they started around 6 p.m..

During my time manning the booth this year, I decided to sketch what I felt like was the result of combining all male and female Fair attendees into one person representing each gender:

No elephant ears?

The fair is starting up in my area soon.
