State Fair

Mary had workshop this past week from Mon-Thur. I took a vacation day on Friday, we dropped Anika off at daycare and headed to the Fair.

Everyone has their favorite foods of the fair, Mary and I are no different. Mary goes for the Tom Thumb mini-doughnuts, for me it is a Pronto-pup. We also had walleye on a stick, a cone of Sweet Martha's cookies, pot stickers and also a couple of new foods. Caprese on a Stick which consisted of cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella balls and basil leafs, topped with oil and balsamic vinegar. My new favorite food at the fair beer on a stick. Yes, beer on a stick. Leave it to Summit to find a way to put beer on a stick. You don't believe me, just check out the photo below.

The three beers they put on the stick were the Extra Pale Al, Oktoberfest, and a new one Red Horizon. I walked around with them while we looked at other fantastic fair offerings. I had about half a dozen people ask me about the beer on a stick, not one of them asked me how tall I was. Usually I get that many people commenting on my height during a trip to the fair. I guess I need to start carrying beer on a stick around.

Mary found it interesting that people are always trying to find a way to put food on a stick, yet at the fair the caramel covered apples come in a bowl.
