It is my feeling that you cannot be a true Iowan....unless you partake in the annual state fair. Unfortunately for me--I did not get to partake in the highly anticipated fried food fanfare this year, since I was still trying to beat my nasty stomach flu. I still had a good time however, and I know for a fact that the rest of my family had a great time stuffing themselves with delectable fair food.
In fact Steve very much enjoyed eating his fried oreos!
Lightly battered and sprinkled with powdered sugar!
I had to take his word for it that they were delicious!!Then, one of my absolute favorite--the fried cheese curds were had by all! (Except me!)
A fried piece of heaven indeed!I won't bore you with more food, but you get the idea. You go to the fair to eat what Iowa has to offer---and it is TASTY!
We saw the smelly animals.
My favorite were the baby goats.
Behold the Butter Cow! (Literally-- a cow carved out of 100% Iowa churned butter)
And the Ice Dragon! (A dragon carved out of....you guessed it ICE!)
It was actually quite hot the day we went, but we all had a great time anyway.
And it was so fun to have grandma here to enjoy the fair with us.
