State Fair - Pilgrimage Part II

Okay... so, I went to the dentist. Have to get a root canal but that's for another time. I got home and went to sleep for about three hours. Had to sleep some or else I wouldn't make it on my shift at work and I knew I had to go see Tracy Lawrence.....

I got up, showered, dressed and was ready to go! We get to the fair and when you walk in that's where the "big" concerts take place. But, like a little kid we walked right past the stage. I poked out my bottom lip and pointed and all I could hear come out of my mouth was ba, ba, ba, but that was it. Troy said come on Elsie we'll come back. So, we steadily walked and Troy wanted to get a hand-tossed pizza so we stopped and had a slice and filled our re-fillable cup for $2. Yes, people we bought the cup earlier that day and I brought it back. They weren't getting me for $5 a cup.

As, we go to sit down, it starts to rain. We found a seat that was under a tent which was great. Then I see, my two hoodlums walking up. They don't want to see me, they want my money... Damn kids. So, I give them some loot and they too decide on pizza. Then they left us, shoot who wants to be seen with mom and dad at the state fair. Not my kids.

We walked some more and yes, we had to go back to the dunking booth that Troy didn't see earlier that day. The clown was talking but he wasn't as funny as he was last year. Plus, the state troopers were by his side, I guess for protection. What is the world coming to if the Dunking Booth Clown needs protection. I don't get it..... We didn't hang out there too long. Donald was drunk and so embarrasing. I was waiting for them to lock him up for drunk in public. He kept whining about the concert so we made our way back to center stage....

Tracy Lawrence was on stage and the place was thick with people. We could barely see him. What does Donald do? He leaves us to make his way to the front. Troy and I shook our heads and said, he's going to get locked up. So, as we listened to the music and danced some...Troy went to grab a beer. Lord 5 troopers came storming past me and then Troy came up behind them. We both said, well looks like Donald found his ride home. The concert went on.

As we listened they left a lot of folks up towards the front of the stage and low and behold, there he was, Donald, front and center. I couldn't believe it and we were way in the back. Tracy Lawrence sang is final song, we thought it was over and started making our way out of the place. After all I had to work right, then he started singing again. We made our way to the front and yay! Autographed CD I got and Troy got a hat. My life at the fair was complete.

I got my corn dog, fried oreos (I wasn't brave enough for fried koolaide) and an autograph from Tracy Lawrence. After all that, we made it back to the car, home and then to work..... without incident...

Tomorrow night.... State Fair part III with Percy Sledge....
