UTAH STATE FAIR

Yesterday I picked up Judy after she got off work and we went to the Utah State Fair. Our main objective; or more correctly Judy’s main objective was to eat our way around the fair. I wanted to see the baby pigs which I never got to do. Oh well! We managed to get the handicapped parking spot that was closest to the main entrance which was nice. From there we made our way around the entire Fair Park once first, snooping out all the eating establishments, and then started the actual pigging out. (Get it; pigging out?!) First we had an ear of roasted corn smothered with lemon butter. Yummy! From there on it gets a little hazy but we had a gyro, a polish sausage prepared corndog style, fudge, kettle korn, roasted pecans and cashews, lemonade, and a Frenched pork chop that we held with a paper napkin wrapped around the Frenched bone end. While we were there we ran into my cousin Rick Jepson and his wife Sandy and their great-granddaughter. I was amazed to discover they had a great-granddaughter as Rick is nine or ten years younger than I am. I think my (Chris’) Sierra will give us our first great-grandchild and she is only fourteen, so it will be a while.
