Tomorrow Keith and I plan to go to the NC State Fair.
I love it!
Usually the weather is cooler, but not this record setting dry warm year–ugh:( Still, I’m ready for some light and breezy, carefree, time seeing the sights at the Raleigh Fairgrounds.
It’s a festive place, noisy with people, laughter, rides, games, more people, and eating. <\/p>\n
I especially enjoy the animals and my favorite exhibit is the Poultry building. Lots of crowing and prancing about. Truly a strutting kind of atmosphere:) The turkeys are so homely I feel sorry for them, but there are some handsome roosters trying to impress by a “cock a doodle do”, and many pretty hens preening.<\/p>\n
Another exhibit I love is the circular Village of Yesteryear, where various artisans display and sell their wares, often working at their craft as people pass by. All are inspiring to me.<\/p>\n
My third favorite place is the Kerr Scott building where artwork is shown, from elementary school to professionals…..amazingly all situated in the same area. Whoa, what a variety of photos and paintings! A “feast for the eyes”, as well as “fodder for critiquing”—I just have to voice my opinions:)<\/p>\n
I will update you on how it goes…
I’m yearning for a ‘footloose’ kind of day, a happy kind of atmosphere, soaking in the festivities, here in mid October.
(FYI did you know that cotton candy is only 3 Weight Watcher points–not bad!)<\/p>\n
