Fair Food Friday: Eating Competition
Yesterday we mentioned our Fair Food Frenzy, which happened this afternoon! 16 participants competed to see who could chow down a 1 1/2 pound Krispy Kreme cheeseburger the fastest (the equivalent of a sugar-loaded 4×4 from In n’ Out). We had a wide variety of contestants but all of them had one thing in common:…
Do Fair employees actually eat Fair food?
Fair employees are at the Fair every day. They walk by the deep-fried goodies at Chicken Charlies, smell the smoke emanating from turkey legs and are exposed to Dip n’ Dots, Pink’s Hot Dogs, 10-pound buns, kettle corn, cotton candy and corn dogs on a daily basis. You may think you’re indulging when you spend…

WINNER: Beneath the Sea Giveaway
We have a winner for our Beneath the Sea giveaway! Congratulations to Oliver for being the lucky winner. Oliver says he would rather swim with sharks. “I’d take my chances with the shark. One mouth trying to eat me vs 10 tentacles grabbing and still trying to eat me!” A wise choice in our opinion.…
Calves at the Fair!
We had a very exciting morning here at FairView Farms. One of our lovely cows gave birth to TWINS, born an hour apart from each other! We arrived on the scene around 11:30 a.m. so they were still slightly slimy and a little dazed and confused, but they were already trying to stand up and…
