Ramsey County Fair Centennial

    I went to the Ramsey County Fair in the evening after work. It was the centennial and I did get two items commemorating it. One item was a button, and the other was a pamphlet about its history. Much like before it doesn't take long to go through the event, as I was satisfied after about 90 minutes. I had pork chop on a stick. It was nice to see some of the art on display, especially stamp collections. One was a sampling of stamps from A to Z, and B was for baseball, saw Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson stamps. Another was first day covers of Americana.
   When I walked through the midway I saw 2 notable sites. One was a girl who was posing for pictures, with a leg playfully in the air while holding cotton candy. Another was at one of the booths as I said to the carnie how it looks like they hung their stuffed animal. In the 4-H section, the barn where they also have the haunted house for Halloween, I saw an R2-D2 costume and said it was cool. There was also a historical timeline about scouting where it was mentioned how a membership drive in the 1930s was done by covered wagon. I would have liked having ice cream there but it was more than what I wanted to pay. So I had it at the McDonald's on the East Side, an old haunt.
   I wasn't home for long after the county fair, it was a busy evening. I went on to Hell's Kitchen in Minneapolis to see my friends doing The Turkeys show. Plenty of skits were shown but not the one I am in. I liked the show closer, he said he lives in South Dakota and previously had lived in New York and Oregon. He did a joke about watching porn for half of the week, a divorced dad, so the half when he doesn't have his kid.
