Just Like Old Times
Going to the State Fair crowded with people, walking around for hours, and on a hot day does not sound like a fun day to me. Boy, I couldn’t have been more wrong. Although the drive was not fun, considering I just had shoulder surgery 6 days prior, it was an overall fun time.
My whole family planned to go to the Minnesota State Fair to see Carrie Underwood perform. Since I have two brothers who no longer live at home, we are rarely all together, except holidays. All six of my family members cramped into the same car felt like old times again. The trip to the fair brought back old memories of road tripping to Florida, the Dakotas the West Coast and Yellowstone National Park. My brother, Justin, recently graduated from North Dakota Sate University and moved back to the St. Cloud area, so I get to see him more often than I used to. My other brother, Josh, lives in Minneapolis and is currently attending the University of Minnesota, so I only get to see him on holidays and occasional weekends.

I’m the type of guy who loves his cheese curds and various fried foods so the Minnesota State Fair was perfect for me. We arrived at the fair a couple hours before the concert so we could get the whole State Fair experience. The first thing we did when we got to the fair was eat some home-cut French fries, then of course I had to have my cheese curds so we meandered through the sea of people until we finally made it. However, the absolute top of the list of food at the State fair is Sweet Martha’s Cookies. A large bucket of oozing chocolate chip cookies piled high, life doesn’t get much better than that. Another one of my favorite activities to do at the fair is people watching. There are all types of interesting people that attend the fair every year. At Sartell we don’t have a very diversified population, it was interesting to see other people from around the state and how they act
The Chicago World Fair was an extraordinary attraction during the contrasting Gilded Age as innovations were constantly forming and shifting the world into a new age of technology. Celebrating Columbus's discovery of America, millions of people and many familiar faces such as Helen Keller, Jane Addams, Thomas Edison and etc., came together in the “White City” to witness a dream-like fantasy. Furthermore, the fair was an impactful influence that was formed by the architect, Daniel Burnham, and created a proud unification within the country. However, the fair was also the making of one of the first serial killers in America, H.H Holmes. Holmes trapped people inside his “hotel” and committed murder to an estimated count of 200 people. The unimaginable
The Kansas State Fair is not specific for one gender, ethnicity, age, disability, or person. Anyone can find something about the fair to enjoy. Having events like the state fair bring an awareness to Kansas that there is no one person that can do agricultural activities better than others. I would also love to attend an event like this again. I have already bought tickets to attend another concert at the Kansas State Fair this year, 2016. I think that events like this bring the state together in a way that smaller community events do not. It is not every day that you meet someone from across the state that has so many of the same interests and you might have.
The State Fair of Texas has been a family tradition for me and my family for many years but this year I was able to pass the tradition on to my friends. The State Fair of Texas is in Dallas Texas at Fair Park and consists of multiple rides and food and most importantly the famous Ferris wheel. One of my favorite parts of the fair is all of the amazing and different kinds foods they have available to try. The people who came with me were some of my friends from college, some of which who have been to the fair and some who have never been. Another fun part of that day was the drive up to the fair and back to Waco. I was the one who was driving the car so that always comes with its perks and responsibilities, still the drive still consisted of much enjoyment and laughter. A good road trip to the fair with friends needs to bring everyone closer, cause a great amount of joy or happiness and laughter, and must be with a great group of friends. My recent trip to the state fair with my friends is the perfect example of a road trip with friends due to all of us becoming a lot closer to each other, the great enjoyment and happiness of our group of friends, and the group of friends that made it such an amazing and unforgettable trip.
During my time at the gate, I was responsible to count the young children entering the grounds. I saw family groups and social groups coming to enjoy their day. The MOFGA is a particular group which aims to educate local communities about organic food. To see vehicles with out-of-state license plates was amazing for me to see, since the fair is known all over our country.
1. “The White City had drawn men and protected them; the Black City now welcomed them back, on the eye of winter, with filth, starvation, and violence” (pg 323). During the World’s Fair, Chicago was a truly wonderful place. At first, all the people were distracted by the actual fair, but after everyone had dispersed, the White City returned to the Black City it normally was. All of the success that the head architects and Chicago’s people believed the fair had achieved didn’t leave a lasting imprint on the city. The fair ended, the magic faded, and The Black City swallowed the White City whole.
Being the middle child, my parents have always taken the older sibling on trips and so when the opportunity came around for a trip. The time was 11:00 am. The date was June 3rd, and the destination was San Francisco. When we arrived at the airport and were waiting to get on the plane the time flew by; 3 hours felt like 30 minutes. I waited anxiously for the plane to take off and when it did, my stomach turned upside down. I knew there was no turning back now. We landed at the San Francisco airport, and my parents told me we got a rental car, and I got to pick it out. I chose a slick, deep red Chrysler; the idea of that car gave me a spring in my step.
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
After a long period, the advertisers make their advertisements’s implication desalting so that the audiences become easier to accept. But the viewers still feel the goods and brand information and accept the advertising stimulation. Especially, this method efficiently works in the medical commercials. In the Humira commercial called “ A Day at the Fair” , there is a pretty youthful blond female at a fair to talk about her Ulcerative Colitis( UC ) and everything in her daily life which cause it to fortuitously flare-up. Before she talked to her doctor, she thinks that all the anguish from UC flareup is normal. After using Humira, the young woman restarts to have a care-free day and be free of her issues caused by Ulcerative Colitis. Since Humira need to put all the information about the brand, the product and the UC to attract people and help them easily understand , the commercial primarily employs both iconic and indexical sign (mode) to represent the symptoms and inconvenience of owning Ulcerative Colitis via indirectly showing what they are, at the same time, the use of different arrangements connotes the meanings and emotions linked with the conditions, to express that using Humira to treat the Ulcerative Colitis will never go wrong for people who are worry about the UC.
We also had the chance to do some shopping before leaving and to me, that was the highlight of my trip. The Nashville mall was so big it man little Augusta, Ga mall look like a broom closet. In the mall I stopped at a shoe store, where I bought some sandals I had been wanting for the longest but could never find in the mall at home. The trip was very rewarding to me because I got a chance to spend quality time with a part of my family that I only get the chance to see during the Holidays. The trip brought a lifetime of memories that I will never forget. We ended our trip with a birthday celebration for my two nieces whose birthdays were a few days apart. The colorful pink party for the girls included; crown shaped cake, ice-cream, and lots of smiles from the two birthday girls. Furthermore, the three-day trip was over and it was back to the hotel to pack for the drive home. The drive home needless to say was not very exciting. I would have loved to stay in Nashville visiting my aunt for a few more days I was happy to be home. My family does not get together that often, we are a happy family but we also have our differences like any other
In my opinion, what the Minnesota State Fair means to people is tradition. Families go to the state fair every year to have that one last adventure with their kids before school starts up again. Its a place where people know they can find something that everyone in their family will enjoy eating because of all the many options available. Also, parents know that with all the many games, rides, and venues available that everyone will find something they can enjoy as a family for one true last memory until next summer.
Road trips with the family weren’t always fun and exciting. Sometimes they could get very irritating. For instance, I remember the time when my family and I went to Indiana for Carter’s Hoop Shoot Regional Final. When we were finally about two hours away from our destination, the transmission on my mom’s GMC Acadia stopped working completely. As a result, we had to pay around 4,000 dollars to get it fixed and had to wait an extra couple days after the Hoop Shoot so it could get fixed. That trip was very stressful and made everything we did harder and a lot more frustrating.
We’re driving my dad’s rusted out maroon 1978 Chevy pick-up with our livestock trailer behind it. Down Highway 20, we’re are headed to my favorite place in the world during the summer, the Sac County Fair. The trailer is full of my two older sister’s cattle that they will show at the fair this Saturday. Every year, the last week of July, we do the same routine over and over and I’m still not sick of it.
¨Were off.¨my dad said. Going to Florida is awesome even if its for baseball. The ride to Florida was horrible, especially with two brothers, my dad and my grandpa. The good part was there was a movie thing. On the way there, there was a lot of traffic trust me it was like driving a turtle but when you get there its
It is Thursday, August 24th, the opening day of the Minnesota State Fair. I am here with my family, a friend and his mom, and one of my sister’s friends. It seems so long since last year’s fair. I always look forward to the state fair, even though it’s pretty much the same every year.
The festival was set up in a very mythological way. When I first walked into the festival there was all of the arcade games. At that point in time all I could think of was the food, which was all I was able to smell. There were so many different types of scents, some which I have never even smelled before. All the different kinds of foods were simply amazing to say the least. There seemed like there was an unlimited amount of varieties to pick from. Anything from fried Oreos to Stromboli and everything else in between. I was feeling a little spontaneous and tried key lime pie on a stick. What a good choice that was. It’s a frozen slice of creamy goodness. After taking a bite
