On the Midway

The Kentucky State Fair starts TODAY! Get your “Midway on”,  and have some “Pork Butt on a stick!”

Ahh,  the sweet smell of the hot pavement, the never ending eye candy, or well, eye popping fashions , are sure to delight. I think Freddie Farm Bureau is STILL in front of Freedom Hall, scaring children by the hundreds. Just teasing, but I wonder if he will have a tribute to Pitino at the front doors…
As we make our way through the Fair Calendars, get the sitter for this evening: Peter Frampton is here! Whoo hoo, we will have many update through today, so check back with us.

We had not been to the fair since before I could drive , and last summer, we took the plunge. Going right after school was the perfect choice in the middle of the week. There were no lines for the rides, the midway was still clean, albeit hotter than Hades.
We saw a few amazing sites, including the 2 sizes of corndogs pictured below, no caption necessary.

Large or XXL?

Of course we love all of the fair food, and this year, we can actually partake in most of it! The cheese fries to funnel cakes, put your diet cards away and enjoy all we have to offer where mobile food goods are concerned!

Onto the USDA Prime Choice from yours truly, watch for the Fair List and Weekend picks on the next post!

Cheers!

Thursday July 23:  Best Of Louisville Bash
First up, for our good friends @ Louisville Magazine and the MS Society, join up with the ”Best of Louisville Bash” next week, proceeds to benefit the MS Society. If you have attended in years past, this promises to be a bit different. Held @ The Mellwood art center, it is more of a “taste” and cocktail party style event, with no awards program to endure.

Congratulations to our BFF @ Nanz & Kraft Florists for winning the Best Florists of Louisville for the 16th time! Way to go team!

Here’s the scoop- we shall see you there!

Another Tandy’s Top endorsed event , for which I have an affection for:  The Art for the Animals event. Once serving on their event committee and board, Shamrock is a group of all volunteer animal advocates that are just phenomenal.  Please spay and neuter your pets to prevent animal homelessness, cruelty and overpopulation.

Thursday, August 6, 2009: Art for the Animals
Benefit for the Shamrock Foundation, INC
6 to 9 PM
Mellwood Art Center – Louisville, KY.

Tickets to the event are $75.00 each.

Friday August 7:  Friday Night Live @ St. Joe’s
Saturday August 8: 160th St. Joe’s Picnic
Follow up on the Friday & Saturday, August 7 & 8,  with the annual St. Joe’s Picnic!
Here is a wee bit about where your money goes when you support St. Joseph’s;

The Louisville cholera epidemic of 1832 took many lives and left many children as orphans. During that time, a handful of German Catholics, recognizing the grave need to care for these children, formed the St. Joseph Catholic Orphan Society, in 1849. Today’s dependent child is no longer a victim of epidemic or war, but of family crisis, financial difficulty or an abusive, neglectful environment. In response to changing societal conditions, St. Joseph has evolved from an orphanage to that of a more diversified child caring facility. We understand the challenges families face. Values change, families are uprooted and disrupted; unexpected events overwhelm them. Our programs are designed to help families in need of quality child care.

Please help me in our dedication & support of  good friend John Straub, his team , staff and all the volunteers at St. Joe’s and their effort to help kids become kids again after devastating circumstances leave them helpless.
Friday Night Live August 7  from 5-10pm
Join us on the St. Joe’s Lawn  for Music by the Epics & Midlife Crisis
Beer , Brats & a few Game booths will be open for your enjoyment!
The Alumni Association is making a call to action: If you or someone you know has been served by St. Joe’s, please contact the Home @ 502.893.0241 for their efforts to Reunite past St. Joe’s kids.

Saturday August 8 Marks the PICNIC of all picnics!
6000 Chicken Dinners, 65 games booths and a capital prize chances to win one of 3 cars!
See everyone on the St. Joe’s Campus starting @ 11am!
