As just about anyone who has been to the fair can attest, meeting up with people at the State Fair can be a bit like playing a game of "Where's Waldo." With soo many people shuffling across the streets and sidewalks, picking one individual out of the crowd can be quite a challenge. It's always exciting to spot someone you know among the sea of fairgoers. I know I am constantly on the lookout for familiar faces--so much so that every now and then, I notice a face that vaguely resembles someone from the distant past, like a classmate I had in junior high, or a lady that rang up my groceries in my hometown. I then squint my eyes, as though this will help me decide if I know the person or not, and stare at them until they notice. He or she then does this funny eye-dance where they sort of avert their own eyes, but also meet mine at the same time, most likely wondering, "Why is this crazy girl I have never seen before staring at me?"

| Friend Day at the Fair! |
But, TODAY when I saw people I thought I recognized, I was actually correct! A few came up to witness my Chicago Dog making artissst skills at the stand (another great day making the prettiest hotdogs you have every seen), some sent me a text to tell me they were around (which I only received when I was on break time), and a couple I just plain ran into on the street.
When I woke up this morning, I did have some big plans today to research the livestock buildings, but catching up with friends was much more fun. After all, it is the Great Minnesota Get-Together and I have even admitted that THE PEOPLE are most definitely my favorite part of the fair. Livestock will have to wait.
P.S. Hugs to Friends who made my day awesome today!
