Next we saw all the vegetables and produce.  People had decorated up their vegetables to look like different things like a submarine made out of a squash, or a porcupine out of a potato.  There were some pretty creative ideas on display.  We then checked out the flower diaplays with some pretty wild and beautoful flowers like this sunflower.

We also wandered through the photography exhibits and artwork but by this time the kids had had enough and were restless for the carnival rides.  We bought 40 tickets for $20 and let the kids choose what rides they wanted to go on.  There was a helicopter ride where they could control the elevation of the copter, a race car ride that went around in circles, a canoe ride through a waterway and several other little kiddie rides that they were tall enough to go on.  Finally my oldest son wanted to go on the big ferris wheel.  It was an incredible view at the top looking down on the entire Fair.

All in all it was a fun day and the kids really had a great time which is the most important part.  See my Flickr site for additional photos.
