Shelly and Lindsay go to the Fair

Once upon a time, there were two girls, Shelly and Lindsay, who went to the Minnesota State Fair:



Upon entering the fairgrounds, they encountered the end of a parade, with tiny ponies:



After walking and eating, Shelly and Lindsay went on a quest to find the busts of butter. While they thought it would be nigh impossible, because they didn't know the name of the building they were in, they were fortunate to encounter kind people who had been to the fair before, and could put them on the right path:



With their bellies full of tater skins, and their eyes amazed at the sites already seen, they decided to ride the Ferris Wheel in the Midway:



Ah, but at this point in their adventure, Shelly and Lindsay decided that sitting and watching something would be a nice rest from the walking. So they ventured to the skate park, where they watched some superb skateboard tricks:



To end the day, Shelly and Lindsay ate what any self respecting person at a State Fair in the Midwest would eat - cheese curds!


And they lived happily ever after (with only slight stomach aches from all that cheese).

It is most worthy that you have been before the Busts of Butter, for it is said, " Butter to have loved and lost, than never to have seen the Busts of Butter!"

Many of us would be pleased to see the Mounds of Margerine, but you live in a state with greater dairy products. Of course, here we are happy just to smell the dairy air.

Did they have anything interesting on a stick?

much love -

That looks like so much fun! Much more fun than Alaska, after all. And all the cheese!

Anywho... Hi from Georgia. Hope all is awesome.
