The Fair
The Head of the Lakes Fair is in town. This is the Real Fair, not "Captain Ridemore's Mighty Duluth F***fest" or whatever in a parking lot. This fair has stock car races, Molly Hatchet, and 4-H rabbits. I think real fairs were started in rural areas and were focused on agricultural competitions like who could grow the biggest pumpkin or cow, or who could make the best pie. I like pie, and so does my friend Bubba, but he doesn't want to go to the fair - he thinks it sucks.Granted there are a lot of losers at the fair, but that's what I like so much about it. I guess I revel in lameness and futility. Once, we biked there and climbed over the fence to get in free. Later, a guy walking past me, looking like a Village Person , burped super loud right in my ear. I was really mad at the time but now its one of my favorite memories (?) Bubba, won't you go to the fair with me?
