There's nothing bigger in small towns everywhere than the county fair

It is officially summer!  July 4th weekend!  And what better way to celebrate than the COUNTY FAIR!

The county I live in does not have an official county fair, so we went to the neighboring Big Butler Fair.

We went early on opening day, so I am sure things will be crazy by now, but we had a blast.  We saw all the livestock, watched a wave of the Dock Dogs competition, went to the petting zoo, sampled and bought a bottle of local wine, ate something called Buffalo Chicken Nuts which were 5 kinds of fries with buffalo chicken, cheese sauce, and ranch dressing.  Hubby even got his picture taken with someone dressed as a shark!

We had a blast, but I was a little shocked at how expensive things were.  It was $20 a person for the rides, which we opted out of, and the concessions were really high too.  But all in all, it was a perfect way to spend a Friday!


I even found a song that sums up how awesome the fair is, so if you want, you can listen below!
