The State Fair of West Virginia (which has been known to kill your Checking Account in one fell swoop) started on Friday, the 8th of August. Me, the wife, and pinkster (my daughter) went on Saturday. I decided to bring along my camera to see what I could capture.
I could go through these photos and add elaborate description to each one, but I’m not going to do that. I will add a description to the few that seem worthy enough. I thought about counting kids that look like Pugsley again, but soon realized that I probably wouldn’t be able to count that high.
On foot and on the way.
What good would a trip to the fair be without visiting the flea market first?
The first score of the day.
When we left the flea market, someone was giving away $1,000,000 bills. Great, that will almost pay for this trip.
The entrance
There were a lot of vehicles. In fact, there were more people here on this day than any other time I have ever been.
Protecting, serving, eating donuts.
This guy was pretty cool.
Score #2

Your typical naked sheep.
A few of the hundreds of cows we saw.
Looks like Buckwheat on a bad hair day.
That vlassic pickle chicken…errr, duck… wtf is that thing anyway?
This glass blowing guy has been under the grandstand doing this for YEARS. It’s awesome to take a few minutes and watch him.

I estimate this ride to be 80-100 feet high at it’s peak. I also estimate that each person that gets on the thing is fucking crazy.
This picture doesn’t do this guy justice. He was BRIGHT!

Night fell, and my camera sucks for twilight pictures.

Somehow you managed to take a picture of my aunt and uncle–7th row, first picture.
I about 98% certain that the man and women in the center of the picture are my relatives. The man is wearing jeans and a black hat, and the women is wearing jean shorts and a blue shirt.

What do you suppose the odds of that are?
Say what? Where are they at?
