It is time I start sharing pictures I took at the Iowa State Fair last year. I only went to the Iowa State Fair 3 times last year. Once with the O’Gorshes to watch Evie and Layla do their Irish dancing thing. Once with Tall & Meaty for their barbecue competing thing. Then on the final day of the Fair to pick up my entries from the Iowa State Fair Photography Salon.
The first trip was with the O’Gorshes and the first collections of images will be from that trip. It was raining in the morning when we got there, so the Irish dancing was slightly delayed. So while we were waiting for the dancing to commence, I wandered around the area of the stage, including the Cultural Center.
Here is the first collection of images:
One of my favorites from the Fine Arts competition.
Another favorite! And who doesn’t love a good pun?
The 5 Star Bridge!!!!!
I remember televisions like this… because I’m ancient!!
I want all of these!
Me, every time I turn on the news.
I was more Team Dave. I did not wear a poncho.
I will find this shirt. I will buy this shirt. I will own this shirt. I will wear this shirt.
From the dollhouse competition.
These are pretty cool, but a $25 sponge better last me the rest of my life.
That chicken can’t hold its beer. Sad.
The opening act.
I hope you know the legend of Ruthie and her incredible “skills”.
Did you know that if you go to the place that invented the corndog they call them Cozy Dogs. That might be important information if I go on my Route 66 Road Trip.
This guy tried really hard to make golf seem interesting.
There is still plenty more images from this glorious day to share! We haven’t even got to the dancing yet!
