Not So Fun Fair
Don't know if it's Covid or age but the fair just isn't what it used to be.
Niccy and I went to the Pima county fair here in Tucson a couple of weeks ago. We went on the last day since we could get in for just 3 cans of food apiece and with today's grocery prices I'm not sure that was a bargain!
We always go with high anticipations and every year we get shot down a little more. It seems to get more commercialized every year and less of what we expect from a county fair.
Back in the days (yep, one of those stories) the fair was all about agriculture, things like FFA and 4H, grand prize pies and showing off your handmade quilt. These days it's all about cheap plastic tidbits from China greasy food, and vomit inducing rides, all of which are way overpriced.
I know that times change right along with people's tastes and evidently this is what the people of today want. I'd like to tell you we won't be going back next year but I'd be a liar if I did. We'll be back, hoping against hope that the fair will be the fair we knew once again.
