We had mild turn out last year, but better than the year before. Also taking suggestions on prizes... probably going to be a beer (or several if you're good looking) at Bada/Ruckus/Goat/whatever. Happy hunting!

Rules:
1. You must have a picture of each item for it to count.
2. Post the times you entered and left the fair - if you go twice, your times are additive.
3. Post the number of pictures of items in the list you collected- only the winner needs to post all the individual pictures (for verification)
4. If there is any speculation as to whether one of your pictures counts, send it to me and I will let you know if it is valid.
5. The winner will be the person with the most points - you will be awarded one point for each item on the list as well as the extra points specified in parentheses.
6. Tie breaker: the person with the most pictures that has spent the least amount of time at the fair will win.
7. You may only get credit for each item once.
8. State Fair Staff may only count for one item.
9. Prizes yet to be determined

Still no pictures? I had high hopes for this tread.

10/18/2010 12:52:44 PM

Only thing worse than people who enjoy the fair, are people who go to the fair specifically to make fun of other people

I'm AstralAdvent and i approved this message.

10/18/2010 1:15:36 PM

3^there were dozens of children on leashes.

10/18/2010 1:18:06 PM

THIS IS awesome!!

10/18/2010 7:06:11 PM

Anybody going on Can Day?

10/18/2010 11:37:54 PM

Can Day will bring out the best of the best!

10/18/2010 11:39:07 PM

Pregnant woman smoking must be added to can day, at the very least.

10/18/2010 11:40:12 PM

I'll add "pregnant woman smoking" to next year's list

Fair Visit on Monday October 18th, 2010
Entered: 11:30AM
Left: 4:30PM
State Fair Scavenger Hunt 2010 Team: FlufyEarmufs (me) and jfballer2010

I'll let you guys be the judge on whether or not these work. Its been a while since I have posted pictures on TWW so if they don't work out, I'll try and figure it out.

PICTURE 1
11. Morbidly obese person (+1 for wheelchair, +1 for eating, +1 for whale tail)
13. Child on a leash
Notes: I have additional pictures of said obese man eating ice cream. There are two children on leases on this picture. Both attached to daddy's State Fair 2010 Utility Belt/Fanny Pack


PICTURE 2
1. Mullet
Notes: Surprisingly hard to find this year! managed to find this guy next to the Folk Tent. Yeehaw!


PICTURE 3
16. "Thuglet"
Notes: Thought about the child in the stroller until jfballer2010 pointed out that the teenage pacifier sucker more fully illustrated the concept of "Thuglet". I think this is a winner.


PICTURE 4
5. Item of clothing inside-out
Notes: This guy was with the Thuglet group. Sporting the inside out sweatshirt like a pro.


PICTURE 5
14. Group of people dressed alike (excluding fair workers/volunteers)
20. Unintentionally sexually suggestive pose (must be a stranger)
Notes: This one was taken to satisfy 2 of the scavenger hunt list items although I am not sure if that if within regulation. You guys can decide.

10/19/2010 11:36:58 AM

picture fail?

10/19/2010 11:40:47 AM

Oh no, ok. Let me try something else. Works for me but that always seems to be the case.

10/19/2010 11:43:52 AM

all pictures work for me

10/19/2010 11:44:16 AM

Great! Made the album public. Maybe that's what was happening. Hope it works for others too. If not, I'll do something else.
