I got a call from our 4H leader that some mayhem had happened at our local county fair grounds and then I heard from others. Apparently people have been playing a bit of phone tag with a deaf person... here's the rumor...
Someone had broken into one of the buildings with the Cloverkid/Sewing/Clothing/Cooking projects. The Cloverkid projects had chocolate syrup dumped on them and several items going to the State fair had been thrown in the trash soaked with the chocolate syrup. Also pillows had been slashed.
Here is reality...
Sometime between 9 and 10am, someone must have found a bottle of chocolate syrup in the buildings fridge and decided to wreck a poster and ribbon that a Cloverkid had done on Cystic Fibrosis. Some had gotten on other projects, but that was the main one. Nothing else had been damaged that couldn't be fixed easily.
But really now.... Why would someone destroy a project that a little kid (Cloverkids are 3rd grade and below) worked so hard on and was so proud of? I'm thinking some young kid around 10-15 who thinks this is funny.
You will be caught... Make no mistake...
None of Meri's items were touched. Whew! Meri & I went last night to the final announcements of special winners. We had missed Maddy's name being announced for the State Fair by only a few minutes. Darn. But we got to watch the cream of the crop do some championship herding. Meri thought they were mean to be herding the hogs around with sticks. They're just thick plastic and they weren't being mean...
We got our final fair food in the shape of cheese pizza, walking tacos and pickles. I don't think I got a single fried Oreo this year! There's always the State Fair tho I guess and there, they'll serve anything on a stick!

Aww, that's just downright mean. I hope they catch the culprit. Mmmm...I love fair food!
That is SO MEAN. Sometimes people just suck monkey butt, don't they? I'd be ticked.
Onto the walking tacos now, what are they? Sound good!

I second that "what is a walking taco" comment. What is it? And are you planning on the MN state fair? They have all kinds of sweet treats on a stick here....even cheesecake. Deep fried Cheesecake! You can even go so far as going to their official website to see what the new foods will be, along with the deep fried goodness.
Oh my! Deep fried cheesecake? I hope I find that booth at the Iowa state fair!
Walking tacos
Small bag of Doritos, rip open the top and crush the chips slightly.
Scoop in some of the following..
taco meat
salsa
shredded lettuce
shredded cheese
sour cream (optional)
Stick in a fork and you have a walking taco.
