Photo TR: Illinois State Fair

[Godwyn]

The Illinois State Fair is usually going on when we were on a TPR trip, but since we couldn't take one this year, we decided to hit up the fair. Chris's son lives across the street from the fairgounds so we parked over there, and just walked over with his kids. I was having to take pictures on the fly so I didn't get to take many from the midway.

Welcome to the Fair! It happened to be Governor's day. So far this one hasn't been arrested yet.

Being a Wednesday night, it wasn't that crowded.

There was a lot of stuff already closed for the night. We got there about 7. Seeing that most people get off work at 5, they would get to the fair around 6, I don't understand why they would be closing stuff already.

But the petting zoo was open. This little guy had some really messed up horns. 3 small ones and one that pointed in a different direction.

DONKEY!

Cute little guy and one with Bieber hair.

Even if he does have Bieber hair, he does do another impression.

Gene Simmons!!!

Off to the midway. Not really sure what this was, but they were pretty much ripping off Harry Potter.

See what I mean?

I kinda wanted to ride this until we seen something else.

CREDIT!!!

It was a mouse themed Wacky Worm called "Wacky Mouse".

So Devon and CJ got there first credit ever. See how I have corrupted CJ?

Miley got her first credit also. Ya, we've corrupted her too.

She wasn't too sure about it on the first pass.

But she was doing better by the second lap.

Nerd! (wearing an awful shirt; Cards fan here)

Nerd!

Nerd! And don't let the cute smile fool ya, she's a little devil!

They also had another credit there.

But we would be denied.

See, we really have corrupted him. Hehe.

For some reason, I keep getting a Johnny Cash song stuck in my head.

We hit up the Dairy building. I see this way to much at work, and now I see it here.

CJ noticed that he has boobs.

Butter Cow!!!

Cow Stats!

Puny little crane game. We want the Santa Claw!!!

Outside they were having Tram Races!

High tech anti-theft device.

It slices, it dices, it SLEDG-E-MATIC!!!

Mmmm Mini-Donuts.

Mini-Donuts make Chris Happy!

Random fair food signs.

Of course everything is on a stick.

Mmmm taffy. I always loved watching these machines when I went to the fair as a kid.

Baby ducky doing stretches.

Ducky Stats.

This little piggy went ZZZZ.

Kinda cruel having this stand outside of the FFA exhibit with the pigs.

Taste like chicken.

And apparently humans-on-a-stick do to.

This was pretty neat. They built a house inside of this tree.

The bedroom.

The living room.

Pirates of the Caribbean road show!

It was a dive show. Stupid, but cute.

It ended with a 80 foot high dive.

And there he goes. After the show was over, we took the kids back home. We might go back by ourselves on Sunday, if so, I will add more pictures.

The butter in the butter cow is three years old? Ewwww! (Then again, that wouldn't stop Homer Simpson from licking it.)

The question is, would that stop any ACER's?
