The fair is always a time that is very exciting for the Big Blue Crew, but along with this excitement we also have moments that we can only describe as crazy. So today we decided to share the top 5 crazy mishaps that have happened at the 2017 Knox County Fair so far.
#5 We started off fair week with a bang and a bruise, as Marcy was struck by a nearby patron playing the ball toss game located right next to Big Blue. The boy had quite the arm but did not have the aim and Mary’s ankle turned shades of black and blue. Luckily, Marcy was able to walk for the rest of fair week.
#4 Number 4 is part 1 of the mishaps the occurred during the raging storm that fell on the Knox County Fair Sunday evening. While the clouds were brewing in the skies above, Joe had somehow managed the misplace the golf cart keys with a very noticeable bright orange tag on them. Joe did eventually come upon a new pair of keys thanks to the Fair Board, but not after getting a little bit wet. And by a little we mean a lot.
#3 All while Joe was on a scavenger hunt for keys, Lilly ended up playing in the mud by the pig barn. Not by choice mind you, but lets just say the rain caused the fairgrounds to become a great location for a slip slide. Lilly ended up with a brown streak on her backside, which we hope was only composed of mud. Luckily once Joe obtained some golf cart keys, he came to her rescue. Joe employed the technique of using an umbrella while driving, as the golf cart did not have a hood.
#2 On Wednesday the trusty golf cart that rescued Lilly died, causing quite a commotion. Luckily there were other golf carts available so the Big Blue Crew was able to acquire another one. The crew still does not know to this day what the issue with the golf cart was.
#1 To finish our list, lets just say things at the Knox County Fair got a little bit saucy. On Tuesday a war of the sauces occurred, as a young boy, we will call him “Table Diver”, tried to take shelter from another boy who for some odd reason wanted to reek havoc with a container of ketchup. The boy, who was give the name “Ketchup Kid” by the crew, hid under the WNZR table, but he could not escape his fate and was covered in ketchup. Another splash of sauce hit the WNZR team when a fair-goer was very excited about their recently acquired pulled pork nachos. This person was a rebel who elected to recklessly hold their nachos with only one hand, and as a result ended up slinging barbecue sauce everywhere. There was sauce everywhere, on the tent post, on the kids registration bucket, on the table cover (which luckily the stains came out of), and of course all over Eddie’s pants.
