Delaware State Fair

My wife, baby, and I made the trip down to the Delaware State Fair yesterday. According to wife, a farm girl from Indiana and veteran of many a "real" fair, Delaware's fair was pretty lame. Being the city boy, I thought it had everything fairs are supposed to have: rides, funnel cakes, barns full of smelly farm animals, and a large concentration of mullets.

We got to conversing, however, on the relatively small size of this fair compared to Indiana's fair. Obviously, being on the smallest state's in the country, you wouldn't expect too much in Delaware. My wife estimated that the Delaware State Fair was but a fraction of the size of Indiana's, and that the number and quality of livestock couldn't compare. But comparing the size of a small state's fair to Indiana's had us wondering what the Texas state fair would be like. As they say, everything is bigger in Texas. Now that would be something to see. In fact, I think I know where a future road trip will lead us!

Stay tuned for more photos of the fair as the week goes on.
