| - oh man, it's time for the fried food festivities at the fair again!
now, on sundays, it's 2 bucks before 2pm to get in (it use to be free before 11am). and parking goes way up around 11am. we pulled into one of the side street lots and got parking for 5 bucks. as we were walking out, they changed the sign to 10 bucks, and then again to 15 bucks!
it was the same as last year...hot, full of greasy food, and more tattoo'd/booty short wearin/large panus people than you can shake a stick at! which is why it's so damn fun.
we notice 4peaks was doing a beer exhibition and show, but that never materialized. we did buy the 35 dollar all you can ride wrist bands and made it onto about 5 rides, but then we got tired of standing in lines for over 30 minutes, so we spent the rest of the time wandering around and eating horribly.
on that note, the deep fried watermelon was actually pretty darn good (it should be a 8.50). the deep fried nutella was gooey goodness as expected. i wasn't impressed with the deep fried reese cup. what blew us a way was the deep fried lasagna. we read that it was super good and they were correct.
the dough was thin, just on the outside layer of pasta, and it was super crispy and salty. the lasagna itself was very tasty...thick marinara with plenty of spinach and mushrooms and cheese. our favorite food at the fair in many years.
go early on the weekends and buy a 1 dollar water outside the gate, but don't open it (you are allowed unopened beverages) because once inside, that same water will cost 3 bucks.
otherwise....enjoy the atrocity that is the AZ state fair!
