The Delta Fair

Daniel and I went to the Delta Fair this past weekend. I don't know what we were thinking going during the Labor Day weekend, because it was terribly crowded. There was no chance of going on any of the rides without waiting in a long line. Which was fine with me, because it was the shows that I was most excited about.
My favorite, and reason for going.......... the Medieval Jousting! It was so much fun to watch, and they did a really good job getting the crowd excited. We were split in half, and our half had to root for the Black Knight!


Once one of them were unhorsed, it was a fight to the death!

And the winner is....? Not the Black Knight!
Next were the Ostrich Races. Hilarious! A definite must see.


These were the pigs for the pig wrestling which we missed. It would have been fun to watch, but they didn't have a set show time, so we didn't know what time to be there.

The car show. These are only a few, but there were a lot others that were older.


This is the freak show. This guy just hammered a nail 2 inches of the nail up his nose, and asking this girl to pull it out for him. It was so gross. After that I had to walk away.


The horned petting zoo. There were quite a few animals I had never seen before. Daniel made one angry by squeezing a little too hard.




And then there was the Demolition Derby. It was my first time seeing one. It was a lot of fun.




It was a long day, and we walked away nice and crispy from the sun.

Thought I'd comment since I check your blog whenever you put a new post up!
I liked these last two blog posts! That looks like a fun fair. My sister just moved to Rexburg this week and it got me thinking about all the cousins from when we were all there, I miss all you guys! Hope year #2 of school starts off well for you two.

How fun!! I love things like that. Especially demolition derbies. I've never seen a jousting duel though. It looks awesome though. I need to find things like this in D.C. I know there is a lot to do here it's just a matter of finding out and going.
