Alas, another year, another Tulsa State Fair. I boycotted the fair last year to show my support for Bells. This year however, I received some free tickets and free ride coupons so I decided to take the family. We had a really great time at the petting zoo, the kids center, in the Expo center, and on the Midway. I convinced the six-year-old and the four-year-old to ride the Ferris wheel, where I was able to get this great shot of the fair grounds.
The Republican booth was absolutely hoppin' this year, both when I volunteered earlier in the week, and this weekend when I stopped by with the family. The was a throng of folks, registering to vote and buying t-shirts, buttons, and bumper stickers. The booth organizer had a terrible time keeping it fully stocked with buttons and bumper stickers. I've worked the booth a few times over the years, and I've never seen anything like it. It was widely successful. It's worth noting that the Democrat booth was absolutely dead.
Another big attraction at the Republican booth were the McCain-Palin cut outs. I got my picture with John and Sarah, did you?
The highlight of this year's fair for our family was Dan Dunn's PaintJam. Did y'all catch this? It was awesome. This guy paints this huge canvas, that swivels 365 degrees, to music. As he spins, dances, and throws paint at the canvas it doesn't look like it's possible that he is doing anything other than making a mess. Then if by magic, it seems like his creations instantly turn in to something recognizable. If you didn't catch it, you really missed out. Go to paintjam.com to see what I'm talking about.
Finally, if you are really missing the Zingo, I managed to take a picture of it for you. Take a look at it *here, and see the rest of my Fair pictures here.

That's a great sunset picture. I tried to get one, but the line for the Ferris Wheel was too long.
Awesome shot.
That ferris wheel shot is GREAT.
