world's largest strawberry shortcake
We followed signs to the "World's Largest Strawberry Shortcake" thinking it was a giant cake. Alas, it was a marketing ploy.

OMG! Let's make an amusement park ride based on the horrible deaths of a thousand plus people! What's next? The 9/11 Freefall? The Sri Lanka Shaker? The Indonesia Tidal Splash?

Wow.

I do have some better pictures of the titanic ride from my 2003 visit to the Fair. I commented there about how morbid I thought it was...

Funny pics...reminds me of the mullet saying, "business in the front- party in the back..."

I went to the fair last Thurs. and find the low attendance articles hard to believe...it was beyond crowded. I don't know if it had to do with all of the Clay Aiken fans there ("claymates") or not.

A new first at the SFair was stopping by the Indiana State Police booth and seeing Meth awareness pamphlets and magnets with phone numbers to report suspected Meth labs... Weird...
