I just love going to the Home Shows at the fairgrounds.  I can't tell you how many years I've gone to them.  I also can't tell you how much "stuff" I've bought there throughout the years. 

 From foot and head massagers, belt buckles, candle holders, picture frames, Koi fish to this year....a back rest and magnetized bracelet.

In any event, we enjoy the displays, the vendors and the food.  That bake potato (The Works) and the Pita were delicious.  We spun the KUZZ wheel for free money and won a free key chain and ink pen. 

You'll never guess who we saw there.... John Wayne and Elvis Presley.  I think they were frozen in time though, cause they wouldn't move. 

There was the most beautiful lion there but it was too heavy for me to carry home.  I settled for a picture with Marilyn Monroe.

The Jacuzzis were beautiful with hundreds of jets and lights in them.  The water was inviting and even without water, I felt like getting in...... but the one I liked was already occupied. 

We also checked out the informational booth on orthotics which originate in the feet and can cause back, leg, knee, neck & hip pain.  I was wondering what was causing that pain in the neck I've been having.

With all those mountain, forest and grass fires we've been having everywhere, the display by U.S. Forrest Service was interesting and informative.  Raul Estrada and C. Hoogendam provided me with interesting information on how to Prevent Forrest Fires.

I wanted to mountain climb but didn't bring my proper attire so I dug into a Baked Potato instead. 

One of the most interesting displays was the Fiddler on the Roof that was between the exhibit buildings.  Good old Dracula was waiting with some Halloween goodies.  Jason made us feel very welcomed also and went after the good looking ladies, one of which I had to rescue.

We continued our tour and ran into some friends near the biggest Koi fish that I've ever seen.  It made my biggest Koi back at home look like a baby.  We finally learned that with the Phantom Screen.... seeing is believing but I couldn't see it.......

Hope you like the pixs...
