Day 1640 - Are you going to Frye-burg Fair? Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme...
Greetings, Bloggy Fair Followers!
Here's a great picture of the Horse pulling at the Fryeburg Fair in Maine last year.
I might as well just go ahead and tell you a little bit about the Fryeburg Fair in Maine, Maine, Maine.
Because the growing season 'up they-ya' doesn't get going till MAY or so - the Fryeburg Fair doesn't happen till Columbus weekend, in October. Read all about it if you want to...

It was so cold one year there were snow flurries, and I had to put snow jackets and mittens on the kids. Brrrr....
The Fryeburg Fair is huge, and has everything you could want in a county fair, and more. One year we almost hit a moose in the dark - that doesn't happen in Wilson County, Tennessee. One year I took a wrong turn and ended up between Portland and Saco, Maine, more than an hour out of my way. Oops.
If you go - you have to have a crisp candy apple, made with local Maine apples. The best ones ever. Also - don't miss the doughboys (deep fat fried dough smothered with butter and sugar - I like mine with butter and salt, but that's just me).
Now I'm starving.... TTFN and enjoy the Fair if you go!

Next year in Fryeburg with Savi, Heather! Don't listen to your mother, it's usually "crisp" not cold in the fall. She's gotten soft after all of her years in a warm climate. The Doughboys there are outstanding. I can't eat candied apples--too much metal in my mouth.
Sounds yummy to me! We will be there, crisp or cold...lol!
I have to play hookey tomorrow...Janet is away and Mike is leaving for Florida for a job interview in the morning, so I have no sitter. Bummer. (oh, and no the job itself isn't in Florida, unfortunately...) Gonna do something fun with my baby tomorrow =)
