NC State Fair

Last Sunday, the three of us, along with Grandma Barbara, went to the NC State Fair. The fair is one of our favorite annual events!

For weeks, we've been dreaming about eating steak sandwiches, deep fried pecan pie, and funnel cakes.

Do you remember our love affair with the deep fried pecan pie at last year's fair?




We've also been looking forward to sharing the fair with Savannah for the first time. The weather was windy and chilly, but thankfully the rain stayed away while we ate and visited the exhibits.




Tal and his division of the NC Department of Agriculture played a small part in the State Fair. For instance, Tal and his colleagues weighed this year's contenders for the heaviest watermelon and pumpkin. As shown below, the biggest watermelon weighed in at 211 lbs. The heaviest pumpkin weighed 276 lbs.



One of the highlights of the day was having Savannah weighed at the fair. (Tal's division had a booth where they weighed fairgoers on a calibrated scale.)

Here's a picture of our smiling Savannah sitting on the scale. She weighed 19.6 lbs.!
