Some people in these parts are really into the Dixie Classic Fair. Then there’s Esbee who’s REALLY into what I affectionately call "Hell on Earth." Personally, I’d rather clean the bathrooms with a toothbrush than suffer through watching and listening to this town’s teenagers enjoy the midway. Honestly it’s like watching cows cough up and re-chew their cud, revolting yet somehow impossible to avoid watching.
Of course my kids are into the "Event Most Likely to Cause Forsyth County NC to Become the Cardiac Care Capital of the World" which means at some point I have to suck it up and go watch people cook and consume fried Twinkies. Apparently that moment will come this evening after the kids get home from school and complete their homework.
Joy-joy, happy-happy. Yes, I’m the Dixie Classic Scrooge.

We always get there right when it opens – 11:00 AM sharp. That way we can avoid all of the crowds when the government schools let out! We get at least 3 good hours of peaceful observance of exhibits and avoid the lines at the rides. My kids love the all-you-can-slam ride days.
That sounds like another benefit of home schooling! We went last night and it was relatively peaceful and not very crowded at all. The weather was beautiful too.
When our kids were little we used to go to the county fair where we lived early in the day and it was fantastic. No lines, the kids could run rampant and we saw everything in just a couple of hours.
Hope all is well in Sanford.
