Allamakee County Fair


Last weekend we traveled back to IA to take in the County Fair in our hometown. It had been a few years since we'd been able to get back for it. Just so happened to work out this time.

The midway is smaller than it had been in years past, but that's the kind of thing that is almost bound to happen in small towns. The food wasn't as good as I remember either, which is more disappointing. But, the people seem to stay the same, and that's comforting in it's own way. There's always bound to be someone you run into that you haven't seen in a while.



Katie and Will went on a few rides, played a few games, and got lots of little trinket freebies. A local bank also has a cash grab game where you get into the "cage" and grab as much money in 30 seconds or so. Whoever has the high total for the day wins something. Katie wanted to try it, and she did great - grabbed $22. In her age group, the high total was $53, so we didn't win, but it was still pretty fun.
