The Big Fresno Fair

It's tradition to visit the fair every year, at least in our household. Hubby, son and I went yesterday. It was perfect weather, and we went early enough that we missed the crowds for the first few hours. I controlled my urges to give in to a cinnamon roll, but I did eat a soft taco (just one!).

I always like looking at all the different displays. Every year, I tell myself that someday, I am going to learn how to quilt after seeing all the gorgeous ones in the home arts building. And I was impressed by some of the photographs and art by local high school students. Most of all, I think, I was impressed by the fairgrounds itself. It's hard for me to believe those grounds are the same ones I visited as a child. Now, there are pools/fountains scattered all over. The pavillon area is so nice too, and now in the area just south of the Paul Paul theatre, they have a huge child's play area. They started last year, but greatly expanded it this year, included a large pirate ship to play on. It is really nice, and like I said, didn't seem like the (crappy) fairgrounds I remember going to when I was little.

Anyway, here's my favorite cookies I saw. Aren't they just so cute and too perfect?
