Madison County 4-H Fair

It is Fair Time all over the USA.

Our kids were in 4-H so we have

spent alot of time at the Fair

throughout the years.

A local church has a food tent that

is very popular.  This is the line for

Ham Loaf.  Ham loaf is only available

on Thursday and there were a ton of

people waiting.  Since we weren't having

that, we could go to the head of the line.

What is Ham Loaf?

This is the only day of the year when

we eat Hoosier food.  People are always

shocked when I say I never had chicken &

noodles or beef manhattan before I moved

here.  And I lived in Manhattan!  This is

food unique to the Midwest.  And yes, that

pile of homemade noodles is sitting atop a

mountain of mashed potatoes.

I generally fall into a stupor after eating

this meal, but I go back every year...

To walk off all that food we usually

head over to the 4-H building to

look at well, more food.

I think we'd better stick with the

veggies for about a week...
