Are you going to to go the NC one? I did have some cheese curds ($5?! I remember when a) there were 2 sizes and b) they were $3.75 for the large one). BUT when we got to the Dairy Building, the line for the malts was SOOOOO long (and it was our last stop this afternoon), that we gave up on the idea of a maltMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07803503583347758969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494655959430218526.post-87731508744565381952008-08-22T13:29:00.000-05:002008-08-22T13:29:00.000-05:00I just moved to NC from Minnesota and they have si...I just moved to NC from Minnesota and they have signs up right now for the "NC Mountain State Fair"... and it just makes me homesick because we all know it will be NOTHING compared to the "Great Get Together"<BR/><BR/>Have a cheese curd and a malt for me, okay?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06238545297867610166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494655959430218526.post-70602447509102913672008-08-09T20:31:00.000-05:002008-08-09T20:31:00.000-05:00Mabunny - I've been to the Winter Carnival before,...Mabunny - I've been to the Winter Carnival before, but this is much bigger (and better, but that may partially be due to the fact that I don't like the cold).<BR/><BR/>Cookie - I will admit to taking a deep breath sometimes and repeating the "it will make good blogging" mantra!<BR/><BR/>Angela - That's my rationale exactly.

I think it's much better than taking chances with them in a crowd. Don't feel bad at all! <BR/><BR/>Hope everything goes very well at the fair and you are able to relax and enjoy.

I used one for Nicole when she was about two yrs old and we went to San Antonio to see my MIL. Going site seeing at the Alamo and such she had a fine time being able to run/walk and not always be kept in her stroller.

And sadly I've never had anything on a stick at the Fair except a pickle. I don't like corndogs and just haven't talked myself into most of the rest of it. I'm there for Sweet Martha's and the cheese curds. I could do just those two (maybe with a malt from the Dairy Barn).<BR/><Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07803503583347758969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494655959430218526.post-90572248607022996832008-08-06T21:42:00.000-05:002008-08-06T21:42:00.000-05:00Just stopping by to introduce myself and say hi. ...Just stopping by to introduce myself and say hi. I saw some cute tattoos online at http://tattooswithapurpose.com/, in case your kids get separated from you. A marker would probably accomplish the same thing.

Our fair grounds are always rough and uneven/muddy (it always seems to rain right before the fair here) so the stroller is actually really edbteachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14217976847600069600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494655959430218526.post-34679050263020282502008-08-06T21:15:00.000-05:002008-08-06T21:15:00.000-05:00Oh yes the wine goggles.

With no extra hands. Been there done that. So since you've committed. Just go. Don't overthink anything. Because you know what you will happen if you do? You won't go. So just bring a stroller and a camera.

While I'm not a fan of the kiddie leashes for say, walking around a store with your child, I'd definitely say that taking your two kids on your own to a place as busy as a State Fair qualifies as a perfect exception. :) I say go for it (and I'd predict you could find them at onestepahead.com or leapsandbounds.com-- they're partner sites, one for younger kids and the morninglight mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04128926711800459894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494655959430218526.post-5036635680478220372008-08-06T20:26:00.000-05:002008-08-06T20:26:00.000-05:00Make sure to let me know which day you're going to...Make sure to let me know which day you're going to be there in case we're there at the same time.
