State Fair


A couple of weeks ago we headed to the Utah State Fair on a double date with my brother Scott and his wife Em.  A huge shout out to my sister-in-law Mary who hooked us up with free tickets.  The fair wasn't quite everything I remember as a child.  We often went as a family for free on the night my mom went to judge some of the sewing creations.  But like always my favorite part was the baby animals.  I don't know if you can tell in the photo above but the calf in the picture was just a week old and smaller than our family dog.  


Another one of our favorite exhibits was the produce room.  We got to see a display on bees and some huge pumpkins.  Who knows...maybe next year we will grow something for this contest.



This photo below was taken for my brother Jeff who is becoming a master welder.  It is the front of a car that is turned into some kind of massive bug.  We saw lots of creative art projects....as well as some that weren't quite so creative.  In the 4-H room we saw someone had been awarded a ribbon just for building legos...and it was just a kit they had assembled.




We didn't indulge in any fair food...instead we headed to the Blue Iguana to use a Groupon.  Blue Iguana is located in downtown Salt Lake and they are known for their Moles.  Seth and I each ordered one and they were delicious.

That picture on Seth on the sheep's head is priceless!
