This year Scott and I drove an hour and minutes minutes to Grand Island, then spent two more hours in the car creeping along in bumper-to-bumper traffick. At the end of that ordeal, our parking space was a one-mile walk on unpaved roadside from the fairgrounds. It was discouraging, to say the least!
After we finally made it into the fair, we had a nice time. I relished my annual corn dog and lemonade. The 4H project displays are our favorite part, and there was a lot to see from kids all over the state. The animals were beautiful, as were the many quilts. The commercial exhibits were out in force selling everything from vibrating weight-loss machines to waterless cookware. No outdoor concerts, which I missed. We didn't ride or play games, but the midway looked great. We lucked out with spectacular weather, which made all the difference. If I can figure out a better parking plan, I'll go again.
