Eastern Idaho State Fair (AKA diabetic comma fest)

Apparently the state fair is a BIG deal to these Idahoans. As you are about to see, people here don't need an excuse to dress up, down, crazy or scary. I did an undercover photo shoot, so things are a little blurry, but I think it's good enough to see a few treasures of the night!

Cheers to a good look back at Eastern Idaho State Fair 2009

The Hair:

I don't remember a station selling pot, but this kid managed to find it!

This kid has a huge head of dread locks. I think I can smell him through this picture.This also could go under "mean things we do to kids" He has a huge solid mohawk.The middle aged catapiller mohawk Young green mohawk (it seems like a real hit, this lady sure is getting a chuckle!)
Plain old, get down to business mullet!
The Food:
Okay so this could go under haid or food. The hair is horrible but he is eating the worlds largest turkey leg.

My motto was: if I haven't eaten enough to go into a diabetic comma, then I haven't done my job. Doesn't all this fried stuff just make you want to go have your cholesterol checked!?!With so many things to taste we lost ability to feed ourselves!

The Clothing:

If you love America enough to wear a flag shirt to the fair, then you love America enough!Just a neat combination showing it's okay to mix and match just about anything.

Normal guy with glow in the dark horns....now the life of the part!

This next is rated 'R'. Why in a million years would you ever think it was okay to leave the house wearing this?

I am not real familiar with the 'emo' dress, I just don't know how they get their feet through the tapered bottoms (and this wasn't even the worst!)Lovely couple, man dressed like a woman, woman dressed like a man and TOO much hair gel!

Mean things we do to kids: Why they brought the bench in:

World's oldest lady calling cow races:

Don't read it wrong (a lot of older adults rode this ride with the wrong idea in mind)

Crowd control, these guys don't look like they could do much but they sure thought they needed a lot of them:

The high quality music:
Also qualifies to go under the 'hair' section rocking this sweek mullet. The best part was the croud. It consisted of about 5 elderly women who couldn't get out of the bleachers.

The Pimps:

My cute roommates having a blast:

Porch Couch

This is my roommate Juliana on the porch couch at our house. It is the best location ever because you can watch people all day!

We can watch dog van (old homeless man in a crappy green van with a tire strapped to the top with 20 dogs sticking out) drive by many times a day. There is the rostifarian man that bikes up and down the alley and his long dread locks are going to get stuck in the spokes of his tire. The neighbor, who takes his grandkids for a walk about 17 times a day. We can watch kids running to class when they are late, people grind their bumper on the deep bumps, and count the number of individuals smoking! Though I am scared I'll find the homeless man sleeping on our couch or a bunch of nasty cats, I still LOVE it!

Holt Hoorah

My roommate put together a back to school event where everyone comes on the field in Holt Arena and does activities with all the student athletes. It was a TON of fun!

The new Benny (he looks surprisingly like the one last year)

Getting ready to exit the big bengal head

This cheer dad has never missed a single event!I used to work with this girls mom and she is so much fun! Her dad is a coach on the football team.The track and field station set up devices to time your speed. This kid looks fast enough to recruit!Every event you participated in you got a raffel ticket. This kid must have done a gazillion things because he won everything!
