where is the corn? i thought iowa was all about pigs and corn??
Two questions - did you see any presidential candidates and did Jason eat any food that wasn't phallic?
There was plenty of corn.. I just didn't think it was picture worthy... I think the presidential candidates started showing up on Monday. There were candidate booths but just their employees were present. Not surprising for the republicans since the straw poll was the day before in Ames.
However we did vote in a 'kernel poll' for our favorite candidates. You get a kernel of corn and put it in a mason jar for your favorite candidate. Then they weigh them.
We ate lunch at the beef tent and Jason had a steak sandwich... not phallic at all.
Too cleaver!
We aren't going to make it to the fair this year. :(
I even get free tickets from work,but my Hubby is a party pooper.
I love the picture of you and the little old woman!
