They have the same fair up here in Colorado in June and July. It is a fun way to spend the day and there really is somethng for everybody.
That video was hilarious - the elephant ears were interesting!
Guy - maybe we could visit the Colorado in June or July then. It's going to be very hot in Arizona, so that would be a nice change.
Georgina - we are glad we made you lough.
