Bibbity Bobbity Boo

The North Carolina State Fair is a huge deal and I had the privilege of working there for the past 3 weeks.  I wish I would have taken more pictures of this amazing event, but I didn't.  Luckily my sister did and you can see them here.


To give you an idea of how popular the state fair is:


9,250,000 = approximate population of NC
409,847 = approximate population of Raleigh (where the state fair is held)
1,091,887= this years attendance at the state fair


It's almost a sin to not go.


There are so many amazing things at the state fair.  One thing that I found amazing was the first place pumpkin.


It weighs over 900 lbs!!!
That may make you reconsider ever using "Pumpkin" as a term of endearment. 
This also makes Cinderella's pumpkin-turned-carriage seem plausible.
