Coming from a hometown that has a HUGE County Fair, we didn't know what to expect from a fair in Adams County, Colorado. They started the fair celebration with a parade, which is very important to one little boy. I just have to add this little story, so that it is documented for my own memory's sake. When we first moved to Vernal UT, we found a little rental to live in. After living there for two years, we decided it was time to purchase a home. So we did, and we moved to Vernal, UT! We were living in the same town, just a different neighborhood. And my little Dusty boy, who was soon to be 4 years old had one big worry on his mind. We moved into our home just before summer and he was concerned that we wouldn't know where to find the parade. Who cares which room he was going to sleep, or what was going to happen to all of his toys, and where he would spend endless hours playing with his cars. One big concern and it was over finding the parade! He told me several times that we needed to find someone who would be able to tell us where to go. I tried and tried to reassure him that only WE were moving, not the parade, and I knew exactly where to find it when it was time. I don't think he trusted me much, because it was a concern for many weeks!
So here they are at the parade. It's amazing that we finally found one here in Colorado!
Then a whole week later, we were off to the fair grounds.
Where one of the first things we saw was a booth with a real live tooth fairy! The boys were speechless. She should know us well, she has come for a visit twice in 1 week!
The firemen were in need of a break and let the boys take over for a bit.
The boys thought this car was the coolest - especially because it was also in the parade!
This fair offered a lot of freebies, which we took full advantage of, including this tractor ride. We filled up a bag with free stuff, toothbrushes, toothpaste, crackers, pencils, pens, measuring tape, hats, and Kyrie was the biggest winner, a free stuffed purple monkey (it's really cute, but didn't think of getting a picture). Our experience at the fair was good enough to go back again. We all had a lot of fun. We were surprised at how much was there, it was like a little taste of home.
We ended the day with the demolition derby. It was fun, but I don't think we'll go back for that event. It was very pricy, plus we had to pay for parking. Pay for parking? What is the deal here? It just wasn't worth it to me. Next year there will be more room for someone else! But it was a fun day, and so good to spend it as a family.
