YeeHaw 2009

We tried to go to Stampede on Monday but the thunderstorm made us stay indoors, then we thot we'd try on Tuesday but it started raining again, there was a hint of blue sky up there and we decided to take a chance and head to the grounds. It rained on us a bit while we were parking, and then while walking... but it wasn't cold and it wasn't for long, so we entered the gate. One of my favorite things about Stampede is... the Carny food! We were greeted by the pickle booth first thing when we entered the grounds, so we got a beloved pickle on a stick. As tradition would have it I needed a picture of us with the pickle so I asked the girl behind the booth to take our picture. If you remember an earlier blog about camera safety, this picture follows the rules. Ask someone of authority or blocked in with nowhere to run, in this case, the pickle booth :-)




checkin out where to find deep fried coke...

a trip thru the native land of teepees

passed by the Carny games, Hello Kitty here! This is the only game I have a chance at winning.

found the deep fried booth, but no coke :-( I enquired about it and the girl that worked there said it was too labour intensive.... boohooo maybe at the Montana State Fair that we'll be at in a couple of weeks. DENIED my coke for today.

found a new food, a Torpedo Potato! They had vinegar in a spray bottle! Brilliant!

Mission accomplished, had my fill of Carny Food, and got my last item on the list, cotton candy!!

p.s. the sky cleared and was actually hot while we were stampeding! Good choice on our part to brave the day!
