My Night at the Fisher Fair
Thank goodness it is finally fair season! There is nothing better than spending a night going on rides and hanging out with those who matter to you most. The sight of the carnival lights at night are one more reason county fairs are so magical!

I had never been to the Fisher Fair before, but I was so excited to learn a dear friend of mine, Arianna Thompson, was competing in the Jr. Miss Fisher Fair Queen contest! We all wore the best shade of teal we could find to match her dress and cheer Arianna on! Since my other dear friend Maddie has know Arianna longer than I have, we decided to carpool to the pageant!
This was not our first carpool together, matter of fact it has become something of a tradition for us! When we were both fair queens, we used to carpool to the county fairs that we both knew we would be going to. It has become some of my favorite memories during my time as a county fair queen, and I am so excited that we were able to carry on the tradition after we both gave up our crowns!
Another tradition for Maddie and I is to ride the ferris wheel together! Some of the carnival rides are quite scary, Maddie and I both agree that the ferris wheel is the safest and most iconic.
I am a very nervous person on rides, it is hard for me to stay relaxed and not freak out. It would seem the ferris wheel is the exception to that rule, though. I could ride that gigantic wheel forever and be just fine looking out at the beautiful world from the top.
Much Love,
Sarah
