A Month at the Fair, and Smoky Robinson!

After a month-long stint at the San Diego County Fair, the Fuzzies are finally back! Although they didn't win anything, they were pretty popular at the fair. I went on Saturday (4th of July) to the fair to check on them and to see Smoky Robinson in concert after the fireworks. That man is almost 70, but boy he sure can put out those high notes as lovely and smooth as ever! He sang all is greatest hits, and everyone in the crowd was singing along! Here's a pic that I took at his concert:


He looks nothing like he used to. He's definitely had a lot of work done (his face doesn't move too much), but that mouth does. And that's all that matters!

Anyway, back to the beginning of my day at the fair... First, I had my chocolate-covered deep fried twinkie.

I have to admit, it wasn't nearly as good as I thought it would be! It still tasted like a twinkie, just warmer and oilier. I think it would taste better if they roasted them like mashmallows. Or throw them in the toaster oven. Oh well, at least I can say I've finally had one. Beans taste better refried than twinkies do.

Then I went to go look for the Fuzzies on display... After much searching, I finally found them!!



I was a little peeved that some of them had fallen over. Thank goodness I had at least pinned them down, or I might have lost a few!

And then I found my Marching Band aaaaaaaaall the way at the bottom of this display case. I had to make two rounds around the exhibit hall before spotting it! They looked happy... marching on as usual.


I stood incognito at first to see what people's reactions to my Fuzzies would be. Several people walked by and ooohed and aaahed and said, "Aw, isn't that adorable?" much to my delight.

I think next year, rather than the Miscellaneous crafts category, I'll enter them into the Miniatures competition. They might stand a better chance. Maybe.
