The Appalachian Gray Fair!!!

We were able to go to the fair this year! We had to miss it last year, but this year, we got some friends to go with us! When Mark was little, his parents would get him out of school early on a Tuesday and they (along with several other friends) would head off to Gray, TN! They would usually stop at Pizza Inn in Elizabethton and eat before getting to the fair. This year, I thought it would be nice to do the same thing! We got to Pizza Inn around 5:30ish (maybe next year we'll go a little sooner!). We all ate LOTS and then off we went! There were 4 little boys total with us and 3 parents! (Dennis wasn't able to go with us(missed ya), but maybe next year we'll get him and a whole lot more people to go too!!). A really nice younger couple came up to us and asked us if we'd like the rest of their ride tickets...we had just purchased $20.00 worth (22 tickets) and were trying to figure out what 4 boys could ride for that.......they gave us an additional 23 tickets! That gave us 45 tickets total!! The Boys were able to ride 5 rides with those tickets! That was really nice!!!! Everything turned out GREAT!! The weather was GREAT and there weren't as many people there as in years past. It was a really good night!
