David is a big fan of the fair, especially when it comes to fireworks or anything deep fried (especially those nasty and ridiculously disgusting corn dogs).

I prefer something a bit lighter like a diet pepsi. I could never stomach a deep fried twinkie or a chocolate dipped slab of cheesecake.


We went to the fair this weekend, because David wanted to see the fireworks. I was bored, and I wasn’t feeling well (I had a headache the entire day), but I braved the absolutely insane crowds, the fear-inducing heights of the ski-lift, and my inability to enjoy the Moscow Circus fun-house due to my throbbing and pounding headache.

David splurged for a disgusting and expensive $12 margarita that had absolutely zero tequila, zero sweet/sour, and zero flavour.

It was green/yellow ice. It was like using a Snoopy Sno-Cone machine with a bit of food colouring. (but not to fear, we went to our favourite mexican restaurant for dinner and had a REAL margarita just to spite the fair folks)


But…the highlight of the evening, before we braved the traffic trying to get out of the parking lot and home, was the 5 minute fireworks display at 10pm.

Now I enjoy fireworks, but David is NUTS about them. He wants to be directly beneath them so he can smell the sulfur of the explosion and feel the sting of the cinders as they fall in a sparkling, shimmering shower onto the ground.

I will admit…it was pretty cool :-).

And here’s a video of the fireworks finale on 28 August.
