Fifteen years we've lived in Berkeley County and we've never been to the fair, so this was the year. We went Saturday evening, and it was quite the experience. I know I haven't been to the Hudsonville fair since I was a teenager, so maybe my memory isn't quite accurate, but this was definitely nothing like that. We did have fun, and, really this was all about the experience, right? We had to dodge a lot of mud because of the rain the night before. Dodged cigarette smoke all over the place. Of course, dodged oodles of people. Another year, we'll go earlier in the week so we can see the animals and the other exhibits.
Micah had a great time driving this car! Here he even used both steering wheels.
The reason we chose to go Sat pm was so the kids could see a demolition derby once. None of the girls was excited about this. And we really didn't stay that long. Saw one heat of the 8-track race they do. The actual demolition part was separate, but it was the same cars and they definitely did some smashing and falling apart. Then the girls were happy to go out and look at a jewelry display someone had up. :) Chad and Micah stayed for one more heat-- they went down close to the fence so they could get some mud on them.
Really, if you want to see rednecks near us in WV, here's a great place to do it! :) Like a whole different culture.
