I awoke this morning to my daughter laying in bed next to me smiling, gently nudging me. Wake Up! We're going to PNE today! With sun shining in the windows, we flung back the covers and started our day.
Woke at a leisurely pace, then we were out of the house without doing a stitch of house work and off to the Fair for the whole day.
Parked at dear Hughs house, he lives a block and a half block away from PNE and made our way straight into the main gates as we had picked up tickets in advance from Safeway.
What fun we had. The joint pig and duck show is a must see each year for us and a real riot. The dog show is spectacular and such a crowd pleaser. (although sad & different this year with Herb now retired and gone) The diving team had a thrilling performance and the dance troupes all out did themselves. Street performers were all offering differing acts and managing to hold a crowd. Lucky us.
Parade was short and sweet, we even managed seats on a bench. Horse and carriage ride was a great way to spend a loonie and to get us off our feet for 15 minutes. The food was over priced yet we had to indulge and the air filled with wonderful aromas while me munched down yummy treats. A few games suckered us in and yet we came out ahead with stuffed cheap plushies as rewards to our stellar efforts.
The crowds as always were sexy and I of course ran in to many people who recognized me, or who I knew. Some show was cancelled at the last minute and so in it's place was a magic and illusions show which had us mesmerized from start to end. What a fitting way to end our day.
Today was a good day.
good night
