Big Tex Choice Awards List Reflection

Hot chicken, hot anything is not cool. Personally, to me, I would never just visit Nashville, Tennessee for some wrongly seasoned meat, maybe I’m cockamamie. But if I were to go along on this silly trip, I can think of a few people I would bring. First, I would bring my mother, Keri, just hearing her reaction to such a place would be priceless. Second, I would bring my boyfriend, Tobias, he is always telling me how he enjoys hot and spicy foods. Honestly, I would just order it without telling him what it is, and sit back and enjoy the show. So, road trip it is.

Since its establishment in 1886, “the State Fair of Texas has celebrated all things Texan by promoting agriculture, education, and community involvement through quality entertainment in a family-friendly environment.” (“2016 Guide” 6). The Texas State Fair is a staple of Texas tradition and even became a historical landmark in 1986. The fair is known for its signature 55ft figurehead Big Tex. He greets his guests with a signature “howdy y’all” while sporting some of the fair’s sponsors like Dickies and Chevrolet. The fair seeks to embody the spirit and uniqueness of Texas. It does this by celebrating its four core values of tradition, agriculture, education and community. The fair serves as a non-profit organization that strives to educate and raise money for each of these standards.

When you go to a fair you get fair food and the same applies to a festival. Carolina Rebellion has a whole section dedicated to food called the “Pig Out Village”. I recently talked to a few people on Carolina Rebellion’s fan page on Facebook and some of the favorites they mentioned were the turkey legs and classic Bar-B-Que. For me my favorite is the Macaroni and Cheese vendor Mac Attack. The Buffalo Chicken Macaroni and Bacon Jalapeno Macaroni are both spicy, but so filling. But, if you are a simple man, then burgers and fries are also

My favorite sit-down restaurant is Texas Roadhouse. I don’t eat out much with my family except once a year for our anniversary when we go to Texas Roadhouse. Once we are seated it usually takes about a couple minutes for our waitress to introduce herself and take our drink order. They will usually give us a couple minutes to look over the menu and decide what we would like to order. Luckily I usually receive a coupon in the mail for a free appetizer and we usually will order one such as the cactus onion. Once we order the appetizer arrives first with our drinks or a little after. For our meal it usually takes about fifteen to twenty minutes to receive. While waiting they do offer free peanuts to munch on. As the meal goes on we do usually get

You shouldn't play it safe at a food festival. Experience food you've never tried before.

Unfortunately, I failed miserably. Luckily I had someone to eat some of the gluttony chaos I purchased. Whether it was fried alligator, cheese curds, a pronto pup or my favorite those sweet sweet cookies. Sweet Martha’s Cookie Jar has two locations at the MN State Fair and hands down the #1 seller of food at the fair.. Sadly, there’s a 30-45 minute wait, however nothing is greater than these delicious cookies. Alas, 4 dozen will not last you a few days if you’re lucky. However no need to fear, Sweet Martha’s sells their cookie dough in the Midwest area and have different varieties as well. Here’s a link to buy the cookie dough to make these awesome cookies. Furthermore, I suggest brushing your teeth right away afterwards due to the sugary texture of the cookie itself. Still trying to get over my toothache still. !! Darn cavities!! In addition, I think I am doing the wrong job to begin with, overhearing people at a restaurant the owner sold millions of cookies at the fair will gross a little over 3 million dollars for 10 days or work at the MN State Fair. That’s

We had hog for the main meal, catfish fillets, cornbread, and milk from Ol’ Betsy.

In my role as secretary for Science National Honor Society (SciNHS), I was responsible for keeping an accurate record of the attendance and event credits of the members. However, while keeping this record I noticed that many members were struggling to meet their membership requirements. Some lacked the attendance requirements, while others lacked the science event credits. As one of the leaders of SciNHS, I knew it was my responsibility to solve the problems that arose in the club. However, we were all having difficulty finding a solution for how to help out the struggling members without losing integrity or being unfair. Since we did not want our members to struggle to continue in the club, we brainstormed with the leadership team about possible

Cheese curds, warm cookies, and the stench of oversized American livestock could only mean one thing in Minnesota, the annual opening of the highly anticipated Minnesota State Fair. The greatest challenge of every summer begins the moment we step onto the fairgrounds. We only have one chance every year to stuff ourselves with as many deep fried things on a stick as humanly possible while showing our Minnesota pride with fellow fairgoers.

It includes items like quesadillias, a chicken egg and cheese biscuit, and a root beer float. Try not to tell everyone though!

There is a crowning of Mr. Dell Pickle and Miss Sweet Pickle at the Atkins Picklefest. There are many contests, there is a pickle juice drinking contest and Pickle eating contest, there are even rodeos. They also have talent shows for kindergarten through the twelfth grade. They also have a 5k race, and also a parade and the University of Arkansas mascot, will participate in the parade. Some of the floats will include the winners of the Picklefest Pageant and floats representing businesses and organizations. Some other contest will be taken place like a canning contest, quilt contest; they also have a tractor-pulling going on if there is good weather. There will be live entertainment, featuring local musicians. They have many types of foods like fried fish and fried

When they got their food, it all tasted so fantastic. Briz had a chili dog with salt on it. Jenna had a bowl of chicken fried rice. Also, Diego had two boneless chicken sandwiches, while they all drank a two liter of coke. They all sat down to eat without even talking until it was 15 minutes until they were supposed to leave.

The food at the state fair really draws a lot of people to it. The state fair has many different varieties of food that everyone loves. The State fair offers things as simple as hot dogs all the way to unique foods like Kool-aid pickles. This variety of food reels in people all over Minnesota and beyond because who doesn’t want to try deep fried bacon!(The minnesota State Fair offers that!) Another reason why the food draws people in is because their are so many foods

I went to a salt and pepper shaker convention in Nebraska. I guess we had fun at the candy shop but when we went to the actual convention part it got kind of boring. But as I said before they had all kinds of desserts. There was cake, cupcakes, donuts, and cake pops…

In the summer of 2016, I decided to enter the Luzerne county fair’s guide cover contest. I came across a problem, however; I missed the deadline and would need to wait till next year. I still went to the fair in September to see my competition in other categories I entered, and to look at who won the cover contest. When I saw the winning cover, I became discouraged. It was much better than anything I could draw. I thought I wouldn’t have a chance in next year’s contest. I continued on in the fair, wondering at what would happened if I entered next year.
