Anyway so after our tear down in Crown Point, we got a few
hours of sleep and then we hit the road for a six hour drive to Louisville,
Kentucky. I’ve never really wanted to see Kentucky, but as soon as I saw the
sign and we drove over that bridge looking over the city, it was pretty
awesome. We even saw KFC’s headquarters!! I mean Kentucky is where Kentucky
Fried Chicken originated y’all.
Even though there was not much sight-seeing to be done, one night we were out doing laundry and the Laundromat is in the middle of the University of Louisville’s campus. We wanted to get some food to eat and before I even had time to pull out my phone and take a photo (boo) we drove past real sorority houses! It was kind of surreal, but so cool! They had the Greek signs on them and everything.

The fair was pretty cool – we had about 50 rides altogether.
It did rain a few days which sucked because the people would leave, so we would
be dead, and also they wouldn’t close us early because it was State Fair. The
days were long – from 12 till 11:30 every day.

Massive storms

Tuesday night after work we had a Jamboree which is
basically a fund raising event for Carnivals across America. There was an
auction, beer pong, cherry bomb shots (cherries soaked in moonshine = gross),
funnel cake eating contest, frozen shirt contest and food! It was pretty cool.
We had one day off where Alex and I went from breakfast with
Tricia (a colleague), we went shopping, walked through the Expo hall at the
Fair and then went for dinner that night. I love spending alone time with him
because we don’t get much of it. I also watched ‘YouDon’t Mess with the Zohan’
for the first time.
This is Cracker Barrel - we had breakfast and supper here
The Expo Centre
The last day (Sunday) was a really long day. We opened at
noon, closed at about 11:30 and then it was tear down until about 5:00 the
Monday morning. We slept a few hours, got up at noon and packed up the bunks,
then drove all the way back North to Plymouth, Indiana.
The Last Day
Up next was a festival in Plymouth called the Blueberry Festival
and I’ll have more on that soon!
