It's state fair time here too. MS State Fair starts next Wed. I'll look for the burritos and I've been addicted to cokes forever, but what is fried coke about?? Do ya'll have any good entertainment? The next 2 weeks are so full of once a year events.
Has anyone ever heard of or been to the Canton Flea Market? A lot of out of state people come.Many tour buses come from AL and S.LA.
I leave my house about 4am to be on "the square" by 5:30 and shopping with a flash light.It's a great place to buy Christmas presents.I can't wait!!!

My philosophy is "if it's fried, it's good"!

We have our very own Canton First Monday Trade Days here.

Very similar to what you describe. I haven't been in a while, but as some on this board know, Canton is also the home of the Dairy Palace, and they serve the absolute BEST cheeseburger ANYWHERE!! Worth the drive just for the burgers alone. Our Canton is about an hour and a half from where I live. We go through Canton on the way to Florida and we generally stop for a burger even if it's early in the morning!!

For that once in a lifetime treat....."Fried Snickers Bar". OMG....so good. I say once in a lifetime because I think one has all the fat and carbs a person needs for a whole lifetime....but man, are they good. YUMMY!!!

Yep, gotta love the fair, dd! Last year, I took the train over from FW to the Dallas Zoo, my sister drove up from Georgetown, picked me up and we spent the afternoon just walking around, enjoying the weather, looking at all of the beautiful plantings. It was the most fabulous day. Got my corny dog fix AND spent a great time with my best friend.

When I go with my DH, he can spend the whole day in the auto show! We went over last year (horrible traffic on I-35 for NO apparent reason) and spent the day- really enjoyed the sheep dog show.

Ahhhhh....good times

Yes, I just talked to Kitty--she thinks she might schedule her trip to SoWal around the fair next year so we can go and eat Corny Dogs. Mr. Kitty was not impressed about the fried banana pudding, but I think it sounds heavenly!!I'm about to talk myself into going--maybe next weekend??
