Before I left Boise, I got to spend an evening at the Idaho State Fair with Patty, Marsha, and JoAnn. They go to the fair every year and know what exhibits to visit and where to find the best fair food.
Let me just say that the corn on the cobb was mighty fine but my favorite fair food was the Tortato made from Famous Idaho Potatoes.
Imagine a deep fried spiral-cut russet potato. That’s a Tortato. Just looking at the picture makes me want another one. Why are these not available everywhere? On the other hand, maybe it’s good that they are not to be found in Sherman, TX.
We visited the flower show. Isn’t this an amazing flower!
This sunflower seemed to glow. Both of these flowers had ribbons.
We saw all kinds of needlework on display and I got so busy looking that I forgot to take pictures. We visited the Guinea pigs and rabbits and then we hunted down dessert: caramel apples for Patty and Marsha, a candy apple for me, and an apple dumpling for JoAnn. Too busy eating to take a picture.
We did not ride any rides but they sure were pretty against the clear blue sky.
I can’t remember what this guy was selling, but his Minions were pretty cute.

The Tortato can be found in food booths in Canton, Texas during the First Monday Trades days. That Opportunity happens 12 weekends a year!!

The Tortato is probably extra good as it is fresh, not been on a shelf for a week or a month! the flowers are awesome. What is the difference between a caramel apple and a candy apple… I have always thought of them as the same. Rides, needles, animals and minions….. you did it ALL.

Candy apples are covered with hard red candy. It’s sort of cherry-flavored and goes well with an apple. They are hard to eat.
