Chris and I live right down the street from the Linn County fair grounds, so we decided Thursday night would be fair night. Chris found out the fair had free admission before five, so we got off work a little early and walked 3 blocks to the fair. Of course, we had to make an immediate stop for some fair food...we decided to split the chicken burrito. In hindsight I now realize we probably made the healthiest decision, only because I was to lazy to wait in line for the funnel cake.
After a brief stop to check out the booths, we headed in to see the 5 o'clock show. It was surprisingly entertaining. The Rhinestone Ropers were a western fan's dream. Not only did they have a horse that did whatever they wanted (including laying on it's back, see above) but they bull whipped, shot guns, lassoed and threw knives.
Here is the dad bull whipping a stick out of a boys mouth, blindfolded.
This was the grand finale.....throwing knives at his wife while she spun on the all-American wheel. What a wife!
Aren't fairs suppose to have pigs, cattle, and other barnyard animals? Well this one had a tiger, alligator, kangaroo, this porcupine and so many more.
Luckily this booth didn't take visa otherwise we may have owned these glasses.
