This weekend was the county fair. Last year we went and had a blast. We won lots of prizes. We didn't know hardly anyone and after spending three full days at the county fair we felt like we were a part of the community. We met a lot of people. So of course when the county fair happened this weekend we made sure to be there. We spent all day Saturday there playing games at the indoor stage. Lucy won $1.25 by completing the children's scavenger hunt. We played the Newlywed Game. Last year we played but didnt do very well. This year we competed against 9 other couples and WON! We got a $100 gift card to Home Depot.
Last year there was a Deal Or No Deal game. They chose 15 people to come on stage to be possible contestants and then they chose 1 of those people to actually play. I was lucky enough to play last year and I won $90. This year I thought there was no way I would be chosen again. I ended up being one of the 15 people on stage and then I was chosen again!!! This time I won $104. It was so fun, and very nerve-racking!
We also played "The Price is Close" and won $1 and a free car wash. We played the Tooele County Trivia Game and won $6.
Later that day we visited the petting zoo!
To end the evening off right we participated in the Funny Honey Money. Its where contestants pour honey all over themselves, roll in hay and whatever sticks to you you can keep. Super fun! Before the adults do it they let the kids do a dry version of it. Lucy participated and found an orange ball! Sorry for the huge belly shot. :)
We didnt get pictures of Ben and I doing the Funny Honey Money. We were sticky and both busy rolling in the hay. Haha. But we won more money there with a grand total of .....
$143 !
The county fair is so fun! We love all the friends we've made! The librarians that we visit weekly were there cheering us on during the newlywed game. The indoor stage directors remembered us from last year. By the time Funny Honey Money happened we knew a good handful of people in the audience and one offered to watch Lucy while we participated. I was talking to Ben afterwards and we've decided that Tooele really does feel like home. :)
