I traveled to Des Moines on Thursday to spend time with Dale and arrived just as he finished his work day. Although I do not love the Iowa State Fair, it did seem like a good time to head out to the fair. It was a beautiful evening, prices are reduced at 5 pm and Dale does like the fair. I had thought that the crowds would be smaller on a Thursday evening but I was wrong. There were plenty of people which leads to lots of extra entertainment.
Due to the crowd we parked in a lot that was less convenient and new to us. It was quite a hilly walk to the park and even more hilly on the way back to the car when we made a wrong turn or two. The blessing was that we saw parts of the fair near that entrance that we had not visited before. We rode the sky glider and saw this beautiful building glowing when we were ready to leave. We went in and found an interesting mix of flee market, live music and historical displays. It was worth the hike in the parking lot and we got extra exercise which is a good thing after the corn dog, fair square and gizmo.
