Fair Day

Today is fair day.

It once was called the "State Fair" but Idaho is really three states bunched together, and while we live in the population center of the state, the North and the East with their "capital cities" of Spokane and Salt Lake City, were not amused, so the fair got bigger, but was called the Western Idaho Fair.

We haven't gone for a very long time, but last night I decided that we would go today.

The gates open at 10 and we will be there. I will carry a small back pack to put our outer shirts in as it gets hotter, but in the bottom of the pack is a lunch (all packed in a "5 cup" lidded storage container. There is also a couple of water bottles.

I promised we might buy a bagel or a pretzel, but nothing more. You know, budgets!

So we will go while it is cool (high of 97 today) and the crowds are few and benches are available for rest!
