STATE FAIR WITH SUE

Last year when Sue was taking chemo and radiation for her cancer, we promised her we would take her to the State Fair to celebrate her recovery. She came in Wednesday night so that we could go to the Fair on Thursday when seniors get in free. Of course parking was $15.
We drove thru misty rain all the way there with forecasts of 20% for rain. It stopped as we got there and started sprinkling as we left at 5:30. We enjoyed walking through the Creative Arts building and by 1 were getting hungry. I had promised myself to have a Fletcher's corny dog but the lines were 100 people long so we went into the Food court and I had mini corn dogs. Nancy had to have her funnel cake. 
We went to the Bird Show that was new to me. It is amazing how they can train wild birds to fly from the Ferris wheel down to the stage close to the audience heads.
Like last year we went to the Marine Drum and Bugle Corps concert.
Marine Gunnery Sgt Major is the drum major and told about the year's activities by the Corps. He asked the audience to like the Corps on Facebook and to post his photo.
This year after the concert we rode the arial Tram back to the parking lot. We had a great day getting our walking exercise in.
