County Fairs. . .

There is something about fairs that captivate me.  It may have something to do with the bright lights, the strangely dressed people, memories with family and friends, the unique shows and last but not least the vast amounts of delicious foods such as: cheesecake on a stick, foot long corn dogs, elephant ears, and the list is endless!


I had the opportunity to go to two fairs these past couple of weeks. One with my family at the Porter County Fair and secondly at the Elkhart Fair with a group of college friends.

Porter County Fair


Jack was able to come up and meet us at the fair and spend the day with our family as well! 



Eating our scrumptious food. . .



There were talented men. . .


. . .and talented dogs.


Mom and I watching the dog show. . .and the fair lights were glistening off our faces!


So long Porter County Fair see you next July!



The Elkhart Fair was one filled with many memories that I will remember always. A group of college students took a bus  and we spent the whole entire day here, I mean the whole literal day. From sun up to sun down. . . a long day to say the least.  It was however a very fun filled days with many laughs.




Very happy girls :)

My group of girls all rode the infamous Ferris Wheel  ..which was quiet an adventure :) 


Karina was just a wee bit scared. . .;)


All smiles and some forced smiles while on the Ferris Wheel...

A tired group ready to go home. . .


The rodeo ended our night and we headed back onto the bus and back home, but of course a college activity isn't an activity if the bus doesn't break down. ;)
