The Big One

The Oregon State Fair is affectionately known to other Oregonians as the "Big One". In actuality, especially compared to other states such as California or Texas, or even World fairs, our state fair should be called the "Medium One". Anyhoo, Vienne went last year for the first time (or at least, the first time when she was an active participant) and enjoyed a magic show (even sitting through the whole show squirmless!), the petting zoo, various really, really, really bad foods (including a funnel cake, cotton candy, and deep fried, chocolate covered lard. Just joking about the last one), the sights and sounds of the midway, and the few kiddy rides that she was actually tall enough to go on. The highlight was her journey with her Mama across the fairgrounds, high above all the other patrons, on the sky ride, similar to a ski lift. It was good practice for a Disney adventure, some time in the future.
