Erie County Fair 2005

Kim and I went to the Erie County Fair (I won't call it by the other name) today. We got two free tickets into the fair and free parking passes from her Aunt and Uncle which was great.

I had Gyros for one of the first times after my Uncle Bruce and Aunt Ronee's restaurant Speedy Dogs and Beef closed. (I forgot how good those were.) We also had some curly q fries which were good, but I could have made them faster myself.

Kim got to have her wine slushy and I had a La Gloria Cubana which is never bad. :)

The best part was that we decided to go on the horse and buggy ride through a small part of the grounds. While we were waiting, the driver told Kim and I that the horse's name was "maduro" which was perfect. Surprisingly enough, the horse definately had the coloring of a maduro cigar. What was even better was when I told Kim after the ride was over what the name referred to and she understood that it was all meant to be. :)

Something else which was cool was that we got to see a Kodiak bear and a couple of bear cubs at the fair. We both felt horrible watching the bears because they were way too confined. The cubs had fun playing, but the full grown Kodiak was just wandering around.

We had a good time, the rain decided to hold off until just before we left which was great. Topped it off with ice cream from Friendly's and it was a great day.
