Grit, Carnies and the Like

There is nothing more nostalgic or reminiscent for me than a summer evening at the Lane County Fair. I remember the growing excitement in my gut that first week in August, knowing that it was right around the corner. This year's fair was every bit expensive, tempting, and delightfully ridiculous as years past. Sarah, Sean, and I spent an afternoon at the fairgrounds wandering aimlessly, stopping when something entertained us, taking in everything our eyes magnetized to: observing a horrifying near fatal motor cross crash, downing a deep fried twinky, 'Ridin' the Dragon', watching pigs race, hanging with a Roo at the Aussie Outback tent.

Here is a link to the the entire fair pics gallery.



Now I'll share a video for you of the All Alaskan Pig Racers
