My night at the Fair

On my last night in Richmond I went to the Virginia State Fair with the fam. Based on the state fairs that I've been to (VA and OH), it is always a great place to see how "the other half" lives. Case in point:



My nephew's on this ride somewhere.



Don't prejudge the fine residents of the Commonwealth based on the merchandise sold at the Fair. They aren't all rednecks. Just a whole lot of them.



Me with a big-ass turkey leg. Fetch me a flagon of something cool and refreshing.



The night was capped off at the pig races.



Surprisingly, I didn't eat anything fried or on a stick (or fried on a stick). Even so, I think I'm good for another year.

    My chocolate-covered funnel cake was awesome. I may still go back next week for some fried mac-n-cheese and the demolition derby.

    spydrz - Enjoy that. Don't forget your defibrillator.

    jasdye - That is my Official Shirt now. Even though it wasn't a Big Johnson or Brew Thru shirt, I didn't feel one bit out of place at the Fair.

    And, yes, I'm still keeping it real with the Livestrong.

    Pig racing. Awesome.

    Please say that's related to turtle racing.

    odderie - Well, the first few heats were pretty damn fast. But the last one - with the Vietnamese potbelly pigs - was slooooooow.
