Not as many people here today as when Chuck went to the Iowa State Fair in August. (We could actually see the sidewalk at times!)
My favorite "Container Art"
My choice for "least favorite"
Apparently this type of art is available internationally -- first time for Canada
On the way home Chuck stopped to buy some sweet corn; nobody there -- just select the ears you want and leave your money in the box. It was delicious.Check out the guy playing the accordion -- his fingers are flying!
Our view from the 5th row-center -- notice the VERY tall guy right in front of me.
This fair in Vancouver, BC started in 1910 and except for a year or two during WWII there's been a fair here. Similar to the Iowa State Fair etc. except larger buildings for performances. Once inside the gates ($6 for seniors) the shows are free. This one was so enjoyable; I bought their CD. Also saw a hilarious one with dogs running through an obstacle course. Similar to the ones you might have seen on TV. There was a fireworks display at 10:15 pm. We waited around for it but it was more of a variety show than a fireworks show.
We drove up to Vancouver last Monday, went to the fair, stayed at a hotel that night, and returned Tuesday. Good weather, good fair food (better miniature donuts than Pike's Market) and good entertainment.
