When I was growing up I loved going to the fair. I’m not sure what I liked the most but I liked everything about it. When I was in middle school I actually raised sheep and then at the fair I would show them before auctioning them off. I lived at the county fair for about a week and I loved it. I would camp out for a week and would go on an occasional ride, eat elephant ears, look at all the other animals, and at the end I would go to the rodeo. These and other reasons are why I wanted to go to the fair down in Spanish Fork this weekend and for the same reasons that is why I was disappointed.
On Saturday I walked from one end to the other in about 2 minutes. I didn’t expect it to be so small. It was in the middle of a city in a school parking lot that overflowed into the street. I thought that at least I could get an elephant ear but they didn’t even have those. What they did have were the jacked up prices even though there were restaurants and fast food chains a block away. The ferris wheel was the smallest I had ever seen and besides that there were probably 5 other rides. I was expecting a lot more out of a small town that seemed to have a lot of countryside and farms but the people I saw were high schoolers that didn’t have anything better to do and small children with their parents. I was planning on going to the rodeo but after seeing the fair portion I abandoned that thought. To drop 12 bucks on anything that relates to that fair without seeing it first would be ridiculous to me. Honestly we walked up and down the entire fair in about 20 minutes. We then took off because we didn’t seen one thing that interested us at all.
