Melissa had never been to a State Fair and I hadn’t been to the Ohio State Fair in years so, naturally, we HAD to go!
We took a tractor shuttle to the fair grounds…
We saw Touche, the Buckeye Big Boar. I couldn’t find any information on his size but the 2018 Big Boar was 1180lbs and this guy, based on photos I’ve seen, looked bigger than him…
We saw a mama pig and her teeny tiny piglets…
We saw the famous butter sculptures. This year they used 2200lbs of butter to make these sculptures. This year’s included a tribute to the Apollo 11 Moon Landing…
We checked out the Ohio Parks & Rec exhibit, which was a nice, quiet break from the craziness of the fair…
We saw some soon-to-be mama cows and some new additions…
And we watched them hitch the Clydesdales to the Budweiser Beer wagon…
It was hot, crowded, and dirty but we still had a blast. Melissa enjoyed her first State Fair experience. We ate some fried fair food, drank a gallon of iced tea (each, probably), and got sunburned.
It was another fun Adventure Date with my Forever Adventure Date!
An Awfully Big Adventure
