Pig Racing, 80 Pound Pumpkins, & Demolition Derbies

I went by the Montgomery County Agricultural Fair today. In addition to the titular attractions, it was full of novel things like a bunny barn, amateur dog shows, tractor pulls, camels, and all the usual rides and fried foods you'd expect. It was kind of alarming to see how overweight (and white) the majority of the people there were. Although, it probably shouldn't have come as a surprise considering the words "FRIED DOUGH" are prominently displayed in flashing lights everywhere.

While taking a picture of a cooking demonstration, the instructor looks at me and suggests I should send the picture to his mother. After a brief pause and a chuckle he adds, "Oh, never mind. She's dead." What kind of joke is that?!

  4. I hate camels. They're pretty uncomfortable. That being said, how can you go wrong with fried dough?
