Montgomery County Fair

Took advantage of the beautiful weekend weather and made the trip up to Montgomery County to walk around the 2009 Agricultural Fair today.

Parking was $5 and entry to the park cost $8 per person. I recommend getting a funnel cake and lemonade as you enter, even if the only seats nearby to enjoy it is in the sun.

The carny games are fun and typical of a fair, and there where an impressive number of rides available. I steered clear of the animal freak show, as I don't call five legged sheep and two headed pigs entertainment.

I enjoyed the petting zoo with a good variety of both common barnyard stock and exotic animals. The "Chilly Mall" featured a HUGE selection of every type of candy available and organized into a maze-like isle.
