Despite a rainy start, we had a great day at the Big E. The bandkidz rode themselves dizzy on the rides while the parents ate their way through the exhibits and concession booths. Maine had the best lobster rolls at $8 bucks while Mass had the cheapest at $5.
Clam chowder, fudge, pierogies, sausage subs, french fries and onion rings were readily consumed. All that was left was the fried cheese curd...maybe next time. Then it was time for desert. Emily and Dan both bought the winning powerball tickets. We're all going to Disneyworld!!! Pack your bags....
The band got dressed to perform at 3:30 and performed on the village green to a standing ovation, (except for the few people on benches) and then prepared for the parade at 4 pm. They marched around the parade route in grand style with MsB on a stylish 4 wheel scooter and she remarked after the parade that it was the best performance ever in a parade. Everyone changed out of their uniforms and made a mad dash back to the fair for one last look around and a trip to the restrooms before the 3 hour drive home, arriving at a little after 9:30.
