I can't ask newbie questions if you are not here to answer.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp. I'm back, so ask away.

I should be posting the first updated wish list by about Wednesday.

Prior to that, as in the previous two years, these "types" (categories) of tomatoes will be on many wish lists...

any black
any green
any blue
any pink
any striped
any heart

These can be sent in as single packs for wish lists, or 10 packs of a variety to join a category. A few people send in 10+ packs of a variety.

The deep fried Snickers Bar was probably the worst thing I tried (several years ago) in 50 years of fair food.

With 170,615 people there on Saturday, I figure about 85,312 were male, 85,312 were female, and 1 "not sure". Of the ~85,312 males, about 42,656 were adults and about 42,656 were children. My guess is that about 42,650 of the adult males were dressed down (like a 10 year old), while many of the women dressed up.

Even at the fair I can't escape gardening. There is a small herb garden at the fair. Someone has been stealing plants this spring. Since one of the plants was black peppermint, and a have a spreading patch of it, I have to return to the fair next weekend to plant some.
