Get ready for the OC Fair
7/06/2006
It's hokey, cheesy and a complete ripoff. So why do I return to the Orange County Fair every summer?- Farm animals. I hate cows and pigs, but I still walk through the agriculture buildings every year. Don't know why. It stinks.
- The Glass blower. I've seen it done 20 times over the years. I still have to stop and watch the guy heat the glass and blow on it. Weird.
- Quilting competition. I walk through the exhibit just because I can't believe that people have fun making quilts. Whatever floats your boat.
- Deep fried crap. Every year the carneys manage to fry up something new. Deep fried Oreos, deep fried Twinkies... I can't wait to see what they'll fry this year.
- The random exhibit. One year my Dad made me walk through the Weird Al Yankovic tribute tent. It was very informative.
- The infomercial booth guys. These brave, energetic souls put on wireless mics and do endless live infomercials trying to sell us revolutionary knives, cutting-edge vacuum cleaners or timeshares in Florida. Nobody can resist a good infomercial, so people gather around - but do they buy?
