Saturday, after cleaning the church, we moseyed on down to the fairgrounds to check out the fair. Well, mainly to check out the Fair fare! As you can see, first up was an elephant ear. We were pretty excited to dig in, but looks can be deceiving. After one bite it went in the trash can! So disappointing. Bucky Edgar has spoiled us forever with his heavenly elephant ears. Bucky, come on over to SLC!
We are not quitters, so next up were 2 kinds of funnel cakes. Much better, but it ain't no elephant ear. These were followed by mile long hot dogs and BBQ beef sandwiches. Then of course, cotton candy. Yummy!
Here we are getting ready to enjoy the rodeo. Now, this wasn't our first rodeo. We knew how to get a great seat and enjoy the show. It was lots of fun and I laughed til I cried when the 3 to 6 year old kids came out of the chutes on their wild sheep for the "mutton busting" competition. Honestly though, it wasn't the Granddaddy of rodeos...so if you want that experience, you'll have to get to Cheyenne. But for your entertainment, I will give you some rodeo jokes.Where do you find a turtle with no legs?
Right where you put him!
Why can't you ever solve a redneck murder?
Because the DNA is all the same and there are no dental records!
What did the dentist get for his award?
Just a little plaque!

i totally tried to make elephant ears like bucky's and it didn't pan out. those ears are amazing!!!
I love those elephant ears too. Lately I have been frying tortillas in butter and sprinkling sugar and cinnamon on them. It is suprisingly delicious...and healthy!

I like the turtle joke. It reminds me of this one--
What do you call a dog with no legs?
It doesn't matter, because he won't come anyway.
