Owls, Henna Tattoos, Food, Hypnotists & More!

A couple Friday nights ago, we got tickets to go to the State Fair in SLC. I really wanted to go before it ended so I could get one thing in particular. But first, some cool pictures!

Loved these posters , they were expensive so I just took a picture instead. 

Utah State Fair

Got a free ticket to get in to the fair by a guy handing them out which was nice of him! It was only $5/person to get in on the opening day of the fair anyways. We also got free parking and parked right across the street - so good! 

Started out with going to The Taste of Utah. Ahh my hands were so full of samples that I did not hardly get any pictures but here are a few...

Got to sample pizza, some gluten free food, taffy, ice cream sandwiches, meat, chips, Apple Beer! a drink they serve at Tucanos and more...

There seemed to be a lot more people than last year!

From the burrito table..pretty delicious and kind of spicy in my mouth

Then we went to the free concert - the band Parachute performed. I really like their music!

Waiting in line

He climbed up so high!

Showing off my owl necklace in my watch

The band reflected in my watch

This clown was making us laugh so much (in the white shirt) by mimicking people

We could not stop laughing!

He clipped a string on some guy's shirt with a clothespin and pretended to walk the guy in the black shirt. Haha!

 Then I spied some birds so we went and Tony talked to a guy holding a hawk for awhile. I admired this pretty white bird

Then we went in to the building and I got a free owl poster. Heck yes!

Sadly we missed the show at 7pm with the owl that flies over the audience. Might have to go to the fair again to see that!

There's an owl on my head!

Now I am a mountain lion cub I guess

 Topped off the night with walking through a few of the exhibition buildings and getting cotton candy. Fun times at the fair!

It's Fair!

I went to the fair this year 2x now so I figured I should try to post the event in order. Even though the first time I went was before Halloween, oh well.

 Nobody else wanted to go on the Saturday I went (Oct 23) but I wanted to badly see the Thrill the World flashmob deal going on. Next year I am going to be in it! They had people in so many states and countries doing the thriller dance at the same time. My friends Brad, CJ and her sister Daylen and their mom were all in it. I met Brad, CJ and Daylen at PodcampAz last year. Cant wait to hang out with them again at the one happening later this month. They did a great job performing as well!

 Next I wandered around by myself which was def. very uncool and not very fun. I was sitting by the merry-go-round fiddling with my phone because I could only get texts, I couldn't update my facebook, twitter or foursquare and it was really frustrating. I guess T Mobile only has 1 tower in the area and so many people were trying to use it. As I was sitting there I heard my name. So I looked up and it was my friend Jenni and her nephew! I had no idea they were at the fair & they invited me to hang out with them which I immediately agreed to. They saved me the rest of the evening!

 

Checking out the crazy mirror

 Pretty sunset in the evening

 They even had a short zip line!

 

Checked out the animals and they were so cool! Saw some fat fat hens, a baby kangaroo, goats and a llama and other animals!

 This was my miracle funnel cake. I was starving and this sounded good. When I ordered it the girl told me my total and the horrible words , "cash only". I didnt know it was just cash! So I said, well I will cancel this order because I didnt know it was cash only. She said nono, and pulled $2 out of her apron pocket. Wow. She was a teenager and I was super impressed that she would do that for me! I shared this with Jenni & her cute nephew, I wish I could remember his name. I left around 7pm but after being at the fair since 3:30 , I was exhausted!
