Tennessee State Fair

If you remember me writing about the Wilson County Fair I had mentioned that the locals said the Tennessee Fair wasn't the best. I guess we were feeling curious today. We HAD to see it for ourselves.

As we pulled up to the fair there was NO traffic, NO ticket line, and plenty of parking.


I stepped out of the car and almost walked right into mud puddles. You really needed to watch your step while walking through the parking lot.




We walked into the fair and up the steep hill where all the 'action' was. The big event today was BMX biking. They sure drew a big crowd.




There was also a small area where you first walked in of girls jump roping to music. Cool- huh? (sarcastic tone)



We spent a lot of our time in the creative arts center but we were shocked when we first walked in the building because it was completely empty. Not something your use to seeing--comparing to the MN Fair.



We veered to the photography/paintings section. That was pretty cool. Here are some we really liked.





All in all we were at the fair for about an hour. We didn't get any treats. We considered our treat to be leaving the fair. =) It was an experience and that's what we were looking for.
