my girl drags me around and i never get to see the damn crafts and the horticulture exhibits

but other than that i had fun yesterday, tried the Luther Vandrosss burger and the ostrich burger for the first time

very impressed with both. The rides seem a little scant

But the horticulture exhibits are one of the best parts

10/17/2011 10:59:29 AM

what is this Luther burger you speak of?

10/17/2011 11:03:14 AM

i believe it is the krispy kreme burger

10/17/2011 11:04:23 AM

It's the drum major of burgers, you might say.

10/17/2011 11:04:37 AM

Oh hellerrr

10/17/2011 11:05:22 AM

Everything was great, but the catfish sandwich I've been getting for three years now wasn't there

10/17/2011 11:57:05 AM

^^^^^the burger was inspired by him, he either invented it or ate it all the freakin time, thats what it is commonly termed...i learned recently

10/17/2011 12:23:26 PM

^^ Farmers Market has tasty catfish sammiches.

10/17/2011 12:30:35 PM

so we are going tomorrow with work, and we will probably head out there at about 7:15-7:30... where would be the best place to park? (we would be coming from wade avenue by cameron village)

10/17/2011 9:03:20 PM

I'd try and get free parking on Beryl Rd. I live nearby and drove by several times today and saw open spots. People park all up by the arboretum too.

10/17/2011 9:04:51 PM

i saw and heard about parking at carter finely- how plausible is that? and do they charge? I've heard it's free from some people, and others say it is 10 bucks.

10/17/2011 9:06:35 PM

it was free sunday

The latter have no idea what they're talking about. Any parking lot that is state property is free to park in. Private property surrounding the fairgrounds charge around $10 to park in their yards.

My find

10/17/2011 11:39:18 PM

i've never been to the fair drunk

10/17/2011 11:47:32 PM

My husband won one of the "rigged" games and won a giant tiedyed monkey...l tried carrying it around the Fair and it almost knocked me over

Here is what we ate: one ear of corn, one turkey leg, one ribbon fries and one corndog


Still so full.

10/18/2011 8:25:42 AM

one turkey leg, one ear of corn, one order of deep fried kool-aid

and a richardson's rootbeer.

it was a good night. great people watching too.



we parked at Carter Finley. It was free, but it was a clusterfuck. Honestly if I had to go again, I'd pay to park in a better lot.

Is the koolaid just flavored funnel cake?

10/18/2011 9:29:07 AM

sort of.

it's dough they roll up into a ball, with cherry koolaid mixed up into it. I thought it would just taste like dough, but i'll be damned if it didn't taste exactly like koolaid.

10/18/2011 9:31:13 AM

Went this past saturday to get my picture taken with the new state record water melon..282 lbs!!!!

Really though, the animals are the best part.

10/18/2011 9:43:38 AM

I had half a turkey leg, half an Italian sausage sammich with peppers and onions, a fried oreo from a friend's basket, a fried mac n cheese from a friend's basket, Pappy's old fashioned soda, and fried pecan pie

we parked at Carter Finley and it was fantastic....though I didn't get out there until 8pm

10/18/2011 9:44:04 AM

LOL...how was pappy's old fashioned soda?..I may have to check that out on thursday.

10/18/2011 9:44:48 AM

It was really good!!! I got the ginger ale and a friend got root beer. Both were fabulous. I really wanted the mug

but...if I bring the mug back this year or any other year refils are only $2...he sold me on that

10/18/2011 9:46:28 AM

Once I get my slab of Habanero beef jerky I'm content.

10/18/2011 9:48:44 AM

interesting...tell me more about this beef jerky..Wheres it at?

10/18/2011 9:51:25 AM

It's in the big building that looks like the Alamo. Corner of Hillsborough/Blue Ridge.

It's this booth.

Where East MEATS West

10/18/2011 10:02:31 AM

Does anyone have more information on Military Appreciation Day tomorrow? I looked at the website and all it said was that military members get in free tomorrow. I remember the past couple of years you could get others in for free as well. I haven't been able to find anything on the website stating that was the case this year. Does anyone on TWW know?
