It’s like freaking magic. I wrote a post about looking for hobbies and then had to go to the fair. The geometry class is required to attend the Lego team build at the fair.

Yes, that’s me, going for the low hanging fruit joke.
The guy in the red shirt and his date? Totally laughing at me making my kids stand by the sign.
We actually have a regional fair, where when I was growing up, we had a State fair. And I’ve been to the Texas State Fair. Good memories.
Do you have a fun fair memory? Share.
