State Fair Story

"I’d waited all winter long to experience the Fair and now it was here. After a magical day, my Mom and Dad and I relaxed in the Park as the sun set and the dancing colors of the Horticultural Building’s tower signaled us that the first Saturday of the Fair was nearly over. I was joyful, but a little sad. I had already used up one of my precious Fair days. I was five!

And now, years later, I still feel like that little girl when I participate in “A Taste of the Fair”. The experience I waited for all year is back.  But, this time there’s no sadness.   Now, it’s perfect -- fun at the Fair without using up a “Fair day”.
