{local love} state fair of texas

{howdy folks}

i don't want to hyperbolize this, but the state fair may be hands down the very best thing about texas. big tex, corny dogs, car show, baby animals, people watching, carnival rides, fried everything, pig races, weird exhibits...the list goes on and on. A and i have gone to the fair together every single year since we started dating. the foundation of our relationship was built upon our mutual love of the state fair and fletcher's corny dogs {okay that may be an exaggeration. but one year we each ate three!}. somehow we make it work, even though we will never be able to agree on which condiment is appropriate {ketchup, obviously}.

{the eternal battle}

at this point we have it down to a science:
1.  show up early
2.  fletcher's corny dogs for breakfast
3.  car show
4.  more car show
5.  baby animals
6.  shopping pavilions & midway walk
7.  petting zoo
8.  tater swirls

9.  maybe a show {frisbee dogs or pig races}
10. maybe a ride or two {if A is feeling brave}
11. exhibit hall {butter sculpture + children's art}
12. turtle pond
13. more shopping
14. funnel cake
