Yay! I love the Bloomsburg Fair! It's the largest fair in the state of Pennsylvania, and it's an event we definitely look forward to every year. We usually go twice, once through the week and then again during the weekend, but with Mugi's work schedule it looks like we'll only get there once this time around.
Mugi and I went on Tuesday afternoon. We waited until my niece, Lera finished with school and took her along with us. It's always so much fun to walk around and see all the people and of course EAT, and eat lots! We all have our favorite must-haves... he likes to go to one of the seafood stands for "oyster soup", which I find gross, but it's good to him, so that's all that matters. My absolute favorite fair food fix is, "Lora's Famous Grilled Beef and Cheddar" sandwich. It's sooo yummy! I mean I'm sure I could make these myself at home...it's only sliced french bread with sliced beef, melted cheddar, grilled onions and mushrooms and bar-b-q sauce. Not a hard combination at all... but still, I KNOW it would never ever taste quite the same ! So the beef-n-cheddar is my fair obsession every year!
We also took a stroll through the educational exhibits. We always have to go check out the largest winning pumpkins...this year's First Place ribbon winner pumpkin weighed a whopping "840 lbs"! Wheew! That's a ton of pumpkin pie!
I love the photo of my niece, Lera ...comparing her small stature to both Mugi and the 840 lb. vegetable!
She even joked that she could probably fit 3 or 4 of her inside the pumpkin!

Wow, that sure is a big pumpkin! That sure would make a lot of pies!
Okay I was quite astounded by the pumpkin until I saw you standing next to Mugi...crap, how tall is he? Or how tall are you. He looks like he towers over you...but, it's cute. I'm hungry now that you showed that divine looking sandwich. I'm glad you got out for a bit and had a good time!

The fair sounds cool! What a huuuuge pumpkin, I wonder how one grows something that size? Had to comment on your niece's name, I have a cousin Lera, and she's the only other one I've known with that name!
