Fair Time!

When the Dixie Classic Fair rolls into Winston-Salem, we look forward to our school field trip! Weather is always hit or miss- some years it's still as hot as summer, some it's freezing and wet. This year was nice, considering it had rained the day before. There were some muddy patches and some wet bleacher seats, but the sun was shining and it was a beautiful day!

First up were the pig races. The pig races are always a favorite for the kids. Luckily, we arrived at the "arena" early enough for good seats/standing spots. Ethan was enjoying his time, and space, until it got more crowded closer to race time.

After the piggies ran their little hearts out, we headed over to get a table for lunch.  Sometimes, finding a place to sit is the challenge of the entire day!  I was on the case and spotted an open table right away!  Phew...

Once we were seated, one of Ethan's favorite assistant teacher's, "G", found us!  Bubs was so happy to see her!

After lunch, we headed to the education building to find our class' artwork.  All of our students received a ribbon, and Ethan earned a 3rd Place ribbon for this piece of work:

We also saw Batmobile and Herbie replicas.

 

After a tour of the artwork, it was almost time to head back to the bus.  We stopped off at a gazebo and rested/acted silly while a couple of teacher aides bought a fair treat for snack once the class returned to school.

 

After the rest of the class went back to school, I stayed at the fair with Ethan.  Delainey and her mom, Mandy, also stayed.  We took advantage of it and went to see the animals.

Wow...the fair was a full day this year!  And, I think that Bubs agreed!  He was asleep within five minutes after leaving!

Until Fair Time next year!!!
