eating my way through the north carolina state fair...

it was a glorious night. crisp, cool air and an empty stomach set the stage for dinner at the fair.

french fried potatoes

funnel cake

roasted corn

and the featured item at the NC state fair this year is the Krispy Kreme cheeseburger: a hamburger, bacon, cheese, lettuce, and tomato between two doughnuts. I didn't eat one but I had to get a picture.

and the best surprise of all...

running into these familiar faces! Cindy and John Greene

It's a REALLY small world. So fun!
