Fair post the second: animals!

The State Fair isn't just about food though. There are animals there too!
I'm always amused by the sheep that have been shorn. They put these little outfits on them. I don't know if it's to keep them warm, or if it is to keep them clean. All I know is that it makes them look like little KKK sheep.





And if they are KKK sheep, someone should let this guy know that he probably doesn't really want to join...


There were freaky looking poultry, like this Frillback Hen:


and this Capuchine cock:


There was some hardcore rabbit disapproval that even Cinnamon would have a hard time matching:


and there were alpacas which are just utterly adorable!

[livejournal.com profile] hellbob didn't agree that we should get one of these to live in our backyard. :(

And last, but certainly not least, they had raptors at the DNR building, and the missing eye makes this little Eastern Screech Owl one of the crankiest looking birds I've ever seen!

Fair post the first, Food!

Yesterday [livejournal.com profile] hellbob & I put on bright orange t-shirts emblazoned w/the Boston Scientific logo and headed over to that strange St. Paul side of town. We were off to the State Fair!

Apparently, so was everyone else in the state... I'm never going there on a Saturday again, not even with discount tickets from Rick's work!


At some point during the day I decided I should be taking pictures of all the fantastic food concoctions that our fair has to offer. If it can be deep-fried, put on a stick, or both, it was!
Unfortunately, due to my previous 3 days of intestinal discomfort I couldn't partake in as much fair goodness as I would have liked. The first stop for [livejournal.com profile] hellbob & I was our traditional Preferred Pickle deep-fried gourmet pickles though. They are soooo good and totally worth fighting through the crowds in the food building.
