Juneteenth at the Fair

Parked right off the race track!

Ate lunch at a Mexican stall-Kimo had us try this al pastor meat in a taco.

Potato brick

This is a new one!

This was also a new place

Sat down to eat and I mentioned how dirty this table was. We were sitting right next to the CA Lottery booth and Tom said this was the product of people sitting down doing their scratchers!

We like to look at the different entries in the fair competitions and there are plenty of categories!  One category is collections!  Here is a collection of empty paint tape rolls-it got an honorable mention ribbon!

This collection won a bunch of ribbons.  It's a collection of "trench art" made by soldiers throughout various wars-very interesting.

We also like to visit the flower competitions.  The flowers here are literally perfect!

Deep, deep color here.

Spectacular roses called, "Strawberry Kisses".

Gilroy Garlic had a booth here! Gilroy is Tom's hometown.

The gem and mineral displays are fantastic!  These specimens glow under a black light!

Even Gumby got in on the action!

Up on the ferris wheel

It was super crowded today.  Emi declined to come with us due to the noise and the crowds. View from the ferris wheel.

Tom and I only wanted to ride the ferris wheel, Kimo, however, braved the lines to try out some of the other rides!

Kimo tracked his steps and said he did over 14,000 steps here at the fair, so I must have done more than that since I have a shorter stride.  My feet feel worn out, that's for sure!

Still, it was a good day!
