State Fair Part I

This is a picture of a deep fried honey bun

This is my first in two posts I will have about my experiences at the 2010 NC State Fair. I went with my mom today and we had a pretty good time. The food was amazing like always! I had my traditional Italian sausage and fries from McBride's food stand.

Later on, I had a treat from last year: deep fried cookie dough. I did try the deep fried honey bun like I had planned and it wasn't half bad. They use those huge honey buns and cover it with batter, then top it with powdered sugar. It was very good, but I only ate about half of it. I thought about trying the Krispy Kreme burger, but I decided to wait until I go again this Saturday.

Speaking of that, I will be going this Saturday (I'm so lucky) and will be taking in all the great food and rides again. The day will be capped off by the Darius Rucker concert at the Dorton Arena. I've gotten so where, each year I go to the fair, I see one of the Dorton Arena concerts. There have been having some pretty good acts come through there in the past years (and the tickets are dirt cheap) so I try to take advantage of this when I can.

I did ride a ride too. I rode the Super Himalaya which is like the traditional Himalaya rides you see all the time. It didn't go backwards (which I love) but it did go really fast (which I also love). It actually went faster and lasted longer than any of the Himalaya-like rides at the fair. It was awesome! I also wanted to ride Fighter which is a new ride and one of only two in the world. When I got to it, though, it looked like they were testing it or somethiing because nobody was on it and they were inspecting it or something. Hopefully I'll be able to Saturday.
