Often times, we’re asked to go out on stories and find a topic of interest related to it. That was the situation a few years ago, when we had exhausted many of the traditional stories covered at the fair. We’d been through the setup, rides, games and animals. I thought I’d zero in on fair food. After all, who doesn’t love it and then feel guilty after? So, let’s just say the goal became eating as much of it as I could (I like to call it taste testing) in the two hours my photographer, Tom Zurawski, and I were there. I think it was Tom’s idea because he’s had a lifelong love affair with food. Fast forward those two hours, and I had eaten, among other things, cheese curds, a gyro, an elephant ear and chocolate covered cheesecake on a stick. The total intake: 2500 calories in two hours. And, you know what? I didn’t feel guilty one bit.
Happy Fair Going!
