After they finished the funnel cake they realized they were thirsty so that’s what they spent the four dollars on. “Now let’s go ride all the rides” Max said “Okay” Sam said though he thought it was not a very good idea. After riding all the rides Sam felt sick, “I’m going to go to the bathroom” Sam said “Okay I will wait here” said Max. After Sam had gone to the bathroom he was walking and not looking at the ground but then he tripped. Sam’s face hit the mud hole with tremendous force. As he wiped the mud from his eyes, Sam heard his brother loudly pronounce, “You are going to be in big trouble when we get home!” Sam was as muddy as a big bathing for 6 hours. He was like a walking mud clump, “I’m so muddy I will never be able to wash this off” Sam said. When Sam started walking all you could here was swish, swoosh. “Let’s go home” Sam said “Good idea” said Max

    When most people think of the North Carolina State Fair many things come to mind such as richly smoked tin foil wrapped turkey legs, tipping, turning neon rides, driving around in circles looking for a place to park, and foods that no one would ever think to deep fry. When I think of the North Carolina State fair, I think of cold fall breezes, ammonia, sawdust, haircuts, and rushing around. My side of the State Fair is the side few see and many ignore. The State Fair for me normally begins sometime in late spring, early summer, when we start training the lambs.…

Starting in the 19th century, “American fairs and exhibitions reflected the nation’s agricultural-based economy.” The fair was initially a way to offer education, resources, and entertainment, and this is the way I used to see it. I loved going to the fair to enjoy all that it had to offer while enjoying time with my family.…
