Stanislaus County Fair!!!
So I went to the Stanislaus County Fair today, even though I live in Merced County. But the counties are so small up here that you can go from one to the other quite easily. Besides, the Stanislaus fair is better than the Merced fair anyway. I went to help my sister take tickets at the gate because it's a fundraiser for her colorguard and they need an "adult" there. They do it every year, but this was the first time I actually worked. It was so fun to just stand there and watch the people come in. There were lots of different kinds of people, but I was surprised at how many cowboys there were. I was like, "where do they come from?" I guess they live out in the country. Oakdale is the "Cowboy Capital of the World," after all.
We worked from 4:30 till 11:00, just standing in the same place (my feet are tired), and then we had to go turn the stuff in. But to do that, we had to walk through the main path through the fair, where all the food and beer gardens are. You can imagine that by 11:00 pm there were a LOT of drunk cowboys at the fair. It was pretty interesting trying to walk through there without stepping on someone's boots and making them angry. Someone actually spilled beer on me and then a fight was gonna break out, so I had to get out of there. I just went to the side and met up with my sister after. Ah, the fair. It's so fun in its own way, with its food that smells really good and the drunk cowboys and the country music and the smell of the hay from the livestock area. I didn't realize how much I missed little things like the fair.
So yeah, I'm at home for the weekend. I don't know how I made it up here in one piece Thursday night. I got here at 2:00 am, completely exhausted. Thank God for good playlists. Tomorrow is my sister's 16th birthday party and I'm really excited because she's really excited. She got a new dress and heels and everything. And it's at a Mexican restaurant so there's gonna be Mexican food, my favorite! Then I'm going back to Riverside on Monday. Hopefully I won't be as tired as I was on the way up here. I'm gonna try to leave during the day.
That's all. I just wanted to talk about the fair.
