Blog 31 - Circleville Pumpkin Fair

This past Wednesday my friend took us to a pumpkin fair near her town called Circleville. Apparently this fair is one of the biggest things during the year, so I was pretty excited to go, especially since I actually had the time to go. Usually I'm so busy during the week that I don't have time to ever go out. Anyway, we went and there were tons of rides and pumpkin related foods and fried foods and goodness gracious it was fantastic. I love fair food, and while I was walking I saw this woman pass by with a plate that had this flowery shaped fried onion on it and I flipped out and was like "What is THAT?!" My friends just kind of gave me a look and were like "...a blooming onion...you've never heard of a blooming onion?" "NO!! I WANT ONE!!!" So I proceeded to run around like mad until I found a place that was selling them. I bought one, and oh. my. god. it was so delicious. OK, so maybe my cholesterol and chances for a heart attack went up 500% but it was so worth it. I also had pumpkin ice cream, which was absolutely delicious. There were so many other foods I wanted to try but with my small stomach and it's low food capacity I wasn't able to eat as much as I'd like. That wasn't the most interesting thing of the night though. My friend took us to see the largest pumpkin pie, and while we were inside a reporter from ABC came in and asked if I could answer a question about the pie. Of course, before I could reply, all my friends had bolted out the door because they didn't want to be put on TV. So I answered her question, and lo and behold later that night on ABC I was on TV for a 3 seconds. A little embarrassing, but definitely a good story to tell haha. Anyway, if any of you get a chance to go to that fair in the future you should definitely go -- so fun!!
