Marty's Travels: September 2009

We went on our annual trek to the Great Geauga County Fair, in Burton Ohio over the 5 day Labor Day weekend.

For a small town fair, it is huge, and well run.

We saw the animals 1st, horses, cows, sheep, goats, rabbits, alpacas, every kind of farm animal there is, all very cool.

So now is a review of the expenses and the food.

It was $7.00 just to get in. If you wanted to sit in the stands for the tractor/truck pulls, that is extra (not that I would want to see that)

The day got warmer and time for a cool drinks, a medium soft drink, $3.00 (My pet peeve for events is high drink prices)

We had corn dogs, $3.00. They were good and all, but even though to corn battered part was good, the dog does not get cooked, and I think some time in the oil 1st, then dip and cook would be better.

Found cheaper drinks, 20 oz for $2.00

Then, the main course, I think it was Dave's Carolina BBQ near the grandstand (I think that is the name, if not let me know)

We had great pulled pork sandwiches with cole slaw on them, big and tasty, $6.00 each, not too bad. I also had 2 chicken wings for $1.00 great taste, good sauce and price.

The last thing I got was at a booth where they were promoting hot sauce and salsa. It was from Mentor in Lake County, Chili's Fire Pit. Nice display, tries several sauces on little totillas. I bought a jar of "Mom's Original Recipe" salsa which was a medium heat, there were 4 degees of heat and this was said to be the mildest, althought is is pretty hot to me, it was $7.00 for a 16 oz jar, just about double of what your average store bought is. Well worth it as it is very good, www.chilisfirepit.com

The grand total spent was $50.00 for the 2 of us.

We were there 5 hours, and saw just about everything, so until next year, we will enjoy looking forward to next year.
