Take Me To The Fair...

I live in Orange County, CA, and July and August mean...the OC Fair. I love the Fair. Well...actually...I love the idea of the Fair. Who doesn't love Giant Turkey Legs, Creepy Carnies, Deep Fried Everything, People Watching (the best place for this), rides that will move your C1-C5, and 3 tents full of "crafts"  you didn't know people actually made...or cared to make. Did I mention the World's Largest Horse and the sweet smell of the pig races? See, I romanticize it. And every year, I want to go.

The OC Fair is a tradition in my family. At least it has been since 2002 when my husband proposed to me at the top of Le Grande Wheel. Yep, a Fair proposal. Did he choose the Fair as the place to propose because we love it? We have fond memories there? It is romantic? Nope. He knew I knew he was going to propose (we had been dating over 4 years...it was do or die time) and he knew I knew he HATES the Fair. So, he thought it would be the best place to surprise me. It was. But, surprise right back at ya, honey. Now you have to go to the Fair every year to celebrate. Ha!

What to wear to the Fair? This event was requested by 3 readers (thanks for reading) so I obliged. The toughest part of the request was the shoe. You just can't wear an open toe or sandal if you are going to trudge through manure. You can't. So, I went out on a limb with a cute little tennie. Give it a try. Totally appropriate at the Fair and your sweet smelling toes will thank me.
