Apple Cider and Smokey the Bear

I guess my post title gave it away...but two more reasons to "Love A Fair" are apple cider and Smokey the Bear! 

I used to get the apple cider first things first when I got to the fair.  It's SO GOOD.

Just make sure you get there early, because unlike most of the other food venues, this one closes fairly early.

As for Smokey...

How could you not love something SO CREEPY!?   

I can't believe the fair is coming NEXT WEEKEND.  I'm ecstatic.  I wonder how many times I'll go this year.  Until tomorrow's post... :)
