Kansas State Fair

First time to an american state fair so I was eager to go find out why americans love their fairs so much.

Bobby and David were taking us to the fair at Hutchinson, another town about 1 hour drive away. We got up early, well I say early it was actually 10am (early for us). 5 in each car. On our way there, we saw this! A car on fire! How the hell it caught on fire is a mystery but it was interesting none the less!


We made it in the end and had to pay $7 just to get in. There were all kinds of stuff you would expect at a typical fair, animals, exhibits, food, fairground rides even a cable car. You don't however get to see weird looking birds.









Or huge turkey legs! $7 for a leg, which feeds 2 to 3 normal people, or about 50 starving african kids.

There were even humongous pumpkins! Told you everything is huge in this country!

There was a fairground game where you had to stand up a bottle which has fallen down on its side using only a ring on a string, to have a go it was $5, I had a go, however both Bobby and David spent $25 altogether trying it! The prizes were a PSP, some bicycles and mopeds. The dude who ran the stall made it look so simple, well he would since he runs the damn stall! It's safe to say we got tricked haha!

We ended the trip with a visit to the cosmothingy space museum, well just the lobby anyways.
