Sam’s View
Today we went to the Alaska State Fair! We saw giant
vegetables, which is a 100lb cabbage! We also saw rabbits, chickens, ducks,
cows, goats, alpacas, sheep, and even a baby chick hatch! Later we went to see
motorcycle and quad racing and freestyle. I ate pizza, and it was really fun!!
Summer’s View
We went to the Alaska State Fair in Palmer. It seems that
the entire city of Anchorage had the same idea, as it was lined up for about 5
miles just to park! It had all of the usual fair stuff, crazy rides and fried
food, but we were on a mission: to see the giant vegetables! J
We made our way to the agriculture exhibit, and got to see
lots of vegetables and flowers on display, but the hit was the Giant Vegetable
section – Sam was excited! LOL The
biggest was the cabbage that weighed in at over 102 pounds! Wow!
We also checked out the animal exhibits, and saw lots of
different kinds of chickens and rabbits – including some adorable Mini Rex
rabbits with velveteen fur. An incubator was set up with some newly hatched
eggs, and Sam got to see one pop out if his shell!
We finished up the day by watching some motocross bike race
and freestyle competition. That was Sam’s favorite part! And Jim said the
turkey legs were the best he had ever eaten! J
