I went to the
Iowa state Fair today and had a great time. There was the usual Giant
vegi comp, produce display and the butter sculptures.
There were the livestock displays featuring all sorts of breeds including giant boars, miniature Hereford cattle, giant cattle, giant sheep (230kg) and recent inductees to the
klu klux klan of sheep. In case your wondering what the lady is doing with the hose, she blow drying them after their shampoo and grooming.
But it was
the food that was the standout at the show. If it can be deep fried or covered in cheese, it's for sale here. For the record I didn't sample any of it, any one of those plates contain enough calories to feed a small African village for a month.
There is a
serious side to the show and I'll blog about that later. All in all it was a very good show and the people of Iowa are always so welcoming and friendly.

Wait a minute - you're praising an agricultural show? Have I imagined all those times you've whinged about these events and the butter carving-esque things they have on show?!
Disappointed you didn't try any of the food. What could be better than cheese on a stick...
