FCCLA @ State Fair of TX

 FCCLA attended the State Fair of Texas on Agricultural Awareness Day. Hooray! Free tickets in!!

 Right after we donated our food

FCCLA members were assigned  to taste some wild foods while at the fair. And I did my fair share too (haha!!).



 Chocolate covered strawberry fried in waffle batter. 


Me with Big Tex in the background.

 Okay, the brochure said best taste for 2010... Fried frito pie.

 Some fried cheese curds.

 Fried smores



 And the quintessential funnel cake.

Ready to go back to school!!??
