Kentucky State Fair

Yesterday we went to the Kentucky State Fair. We went last year but I think we enjoyed it even more this year. There is just so much to do and to look at. Mark started classes today so it was nice to have a day together before we all get really busy.
This is Mark and I as Mr and Mrs Abraham Lincoln.

The kids enjoyed this obstacle course.


Of course we had to go and hear this guy, an Elvis impersonator. He is asking Joel a question here. Joel won a free Pepsi t-shirt because with every ones help he answered correctly. The questions was, "Am I wearing blue suede shoes?" and of course he was!
The pig right at the top of this post and the three photos below are photos of entries into the iced cake competition. They were very impressive. Some of them were so detailed.
This was my favourite.
The kids thought this cake was pretty cool.

These guys were really good. They were called the Kenya Safari Acrobats. Before them we had watched a pretty good Magic Show.
Having a snack, waiting for the concert to start.
In the evenings they put on free concerts. The reason we went on this particular day was because the concert was the "Newsboys". Our good friend Nigel introduced us to them several years ago and we have grown to really like them. It was a really good concert, a great way to end our day.
