Day 5, KY State Fair

Hey, today was the greatest yet. Day 5 was well an experience.

We got up early today, no complimentary breakfast at the Holiday inn here in Louisville, KY. But it was 12 floors and pretty big, a nice surprise, Louisville, was bigger the other cities we’ve been in so far.
So we had two things on the agenda for Louisville, the bat factory, and the Kentucky state fair. But the bat factory was kind of closed so we skipped it. We went strait to the fair, it was well amazing, and we started off walking to a lumberjack contest, real cool, log chopping, ax throwing, wood sawing, and a lot more. After that we went to a pig race, so much fun. The announcer was a real hick, and talking so fast he was impossible to understand. Next they had a BMX and skateboard show on a mini half pipe, real great, just look at the pics.

After the shows we went to look around @ all the exhibits. We started at the homemade brew and wine contest, then on to the best antique show. Then the art section. then I got into a debate with a really nice DEA agent about why Marijuana should be legal and how you shouldn’t be arrested if you are pulled over and have it on your persons if you are not under the influence, wow it was fun, he gave me some real oddball look. Then on to the art exhibit, some really great stuff there, all homemade. after that we went to the flea market, wow people are really interested in the dumbest of things, just a bunch of oddballs buying crap that nobody needs, lots of hot tub sales people, the most interesting stand was the www.customcaskets.com stand, where I just had to ask the sales lady what she recommended for me, and she said since I’m Jewish they have a plain pinewood boxes, but I was just laughing who the hell goes to a state fair to buy a coffin? I was ROTFLMAO.
Ok we left the flea market, and got a beer in one of the music tents, some country music band was playing, wasn’t half bad. Better then the bad punk metal that they had playing in the other tents; playing really bad G&R covers.
After the drinks, we went to the dairy cow exhibit, never saw so many cows, and wow tons of shit all over the place. but really cool to see all the different types of dairy cows, and the most awkward is that the owners need to sleep with the cows on the fair grounds, till the competition is over, and that was @ 4pm today, they were there since August 17th, the beginning of the fair.
Anyway, after the cows we went to the mule hut, lots of donkeys and mules there, again a really bad stench. we left rather quickly, and went on to the chicken and cock exhibit, mad cool (see pics) then there were pigeons, rabbits, dairy goats, and bee hives/ honey, all of these are things never seen in NYC. so great, and the people here are so freaken nice, I mean they apologize for being in your way, or stepping on your foot, so cool. Ok I got tired of the animals and aryeh wanted to go see the flapjack flipping contests, which ended up being a real lame. So aryeh caught some shut eye. I went to Six Flags Kentucky, which was right next to the fair grounds, and admission to the Six Flags is included in the $7 admission into the fair! but the rides are pay per ride, but its still pretty cheap, me shragi and Dan, went, there were 6 coaster, but the Chang was closed, and the raptor was lame, so I went on the Twisted Twins before Dan and shragi met up with me, and it was lame, then we went on the Thunder Run, a great wooden roller coaster, I went on it twice. Then we went on to the T2 which is a metal coaster, which cost $5 but worth it, me and shragi sat front row, and it was great, no pics though, too hard to snap em. so we did the best rides in Six Flags for $10 and the best thing was there were NO LINES, I mean when I went in Thunder Run the first time, I was the only one on the train!!!!, and when me and shragi waited for T2, we waited 10 minutes because we wanted the first row. we are really tired, so we skipped out on the Oak Ridge Boys concert, and we Grilled up in the parking lot, and now we are on the road to Nashville, TN, and the greatest part about the four hour drive down there is that we gain an hour by getting into the central time zone! Oh well gotta get some sleep on this drive, see ya'll in Nashville!
