Do you want to know the most amazing part of the fair?
Actually it is not the giant pig…or even that guys tattoo.
The most amazing attribute of the fair is that IT HAS NOT CHANGED in the past eight years since we last visited or really since we were kids. From the greasy food stands to the rides to the animal tents to the exhibit halls…more or less the same.
One visit to the Western Idaho Fair has the ability to flash a person back to the days when my sister and I would run up to the height test of each ride, standing on our tippy toes to maximize ride eligibility potential, to the boy crazy teen years when we were on the prowl for new boys to flirt with, to the years with iron stomachs where we would ride every ride multiple times until closing time or the days when we were little and our dad would play fair games and win us sawdust-filled stuffed animals with a lifespan of about four days.
Our trip to the fair really was a veritable trip down the original memory lane. The best part of all (and the reason why we went) is knowing this is the first of many trips for Belén’s memories of the fair.
This is the last of the Fair Week posts. I hope you have enjoyed your own trip down memory lane of your own local fair.
