The kids' robotics teams had a booth at the fair this year. The goal of the booth was to let people know about the VEX program in hopes that it would raise interest / inspire other schools to start their own teams (so that we don't have to travel so far to compete). During their two-hour shift, the kids talked to passers-by about the program and did robot demonstrations. Once their shift was over, we went and rode the rides for about an hour. Even though they enjoyed the rides, they wanted to be with their friends who were still at the booth. For this reason we went back and stayed at the booth until it closed for the evening. We had been at the fair for five hours at this point, so we decided to grab a bite to eat. The fair was much more crowded in the evening than it had been earlier in the day. Still, we were able to squeeze in a few more rides and attractions. Our last stop was at the snack booth to get funnel cake and fried Oreos before heading home. It was a full but fun day.
