Debbie W and I headed to Salem for the day to take in the Oregon State Fair for the first time. I especially wanted to go because of all the Oregon Sesquicentennial cakes, etc. We didn't take the chair in the air to see the whole fair or eat a brick of fries. But we did get ripped off on soft-serve (not knowing about the Red Barn), we saw baby goat show, woman's roller derby for the first time, tons of art, and our favorite find was the $1 sideshow with Mack & Zack!
