Tonight I went to a Lexington summer tradition, the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Country Fair. This fair comes with all the traditional flair: fried foods, rickety rides, games of chance, a rummage sale and some more grown up areas including a casino, bingo and beer garden. I got to go with my sister, Meredith, her boyfriend, Dan, and our friend Jessica. Mere won prizes throwing darts at balloons and spinning the wheel and poor Jessica beat a six year old to at the squirt gun game, felt so bad she ended up giving her prize to the little girl. We all enjoyed gyros, popcorn, corndogs, caramel apples and our favorite DEEP FRIED OREOS. Who doesn't like fair food?
Now, I am not a fair/carnival/amusement park type of person and the fair was everything I expected it to be. Probably won't become a tradition for myself in the summer time. For me it felt like a glorified jr. high hang out ('cause there were approximately one million jr. highers) and some form of penance. But if you like fairs, you'll love it.
Oh, and some lady spilled her drink all over me.
Admission is free but be prepared to spend some money on ride tickets, games and food.
