AN EVENING AT THE VALLEYFAIR

We were at the ValleyFair twice last year and enjoyed every minute we spent there. So naturally,when Jobin & I got a chance to visit again,we happily grabbed the offer! It was for an Adult Night just before the Memorial Day weekend from 7 pm -11 pm. It simply meant that the park was off limits for anyone below 18 years of age at that time. Select rides (like crazy scary!) were open for us and we could go on it as many times as we wanted to. The craziest thing was actually getting to the ValleyFair.

You would think that I am exaggerating when I tell you that the traffic backup for was close to 2 miles. When we finally parked our car, the sun had set. The park was well lit up in various colours and I must say I did miss bringing Ian along with us. He had a ball of a time there last year. Since we had entry passes to the ValleyFair, we did not have to stand in the longest of the longest queue that I've seen my entire life!

Just like last year, the Hotdish & Hops event was scheduled to happen the next day so we got a preview of it. There was a wide range of Hotdish availabe for sampling right from my favourite Green Bean Casserole to S'mores. The sample size were so generous that we were literally filled all the way up to our nose by the time we were done. The timing was so perfect that it began to drizzle as we were leaving the park. There was no way that I would have been able to run back to the car with a stomach full of delicious food that I just ate at the ValleyFair!

CORN FEAST!

Long weekends usually call for lots of food and drinks! This past Labor Day was no different. We went to the Valleyfair once again and took part in the 40th Annual Green Giant Corn Feast happening there.We love corn and didn't think twice about standing in the line to eat the freshly cooked buttery corn sprinkled with lots of lemon pepper! The stalls were giving out 30,000 pounds of fresh corn to the park visitors and the lines were growing by the minute!

Ian loves going to such fairs where there is fun and food involved. The weather was perfect, cloudy but not hot. So we sat down by the stage with the piping hot buttery corn and listened to the live music performed by local band Restoration Revue. After that,we took Ian for all the rides the little ones could ride on! He was so excited all throughout and couldn't decide which ride he should go on next! Appan & Amma are visiting and they found the caricature stall quite exciting and got a colour caricature done. It was really a lovely day,well spent with the people we love!

There will be a lot really fun events happening at the Valleyfair this fall,perfect for families & foodies alike, so keep your eyes peeled open for it! You can get more details regarding them here!
