Tina Goes to the Fair! (pt 1)

Every year, Ted and Tina's family/handlers work at the Big Fresno Fair. This year, Tina was lucky enough to take a walk around the grounds.

Obviously, the first stop for any morning fair-goer must be the Country Fair Cinnamon Roll stand. Julie orders an original roll with cream cheese frosting, while B (of http://cachingontheroad.blogspot.com/) LOVES getting a plain original roll extracted from the very center of the pan.

Here is a face frequent readers may recognize, although most of the time only her hands were in the photos. Jenny was Ted's handler on his cross-country trip. She also is the superintendent of the Greenhouse at the Fair. She took a break off from being busy busy busy to give Tina a tour.

The Greenhouse is split into two halves, a professional side and a student side. All the plants on the student side are available for bidding. Here Tina surveys the plants for sale, although she was not too fond of the dry plants. The Greenhouse doesn't showcase aquatic plants (yet).

The Greenhouse also houses a domestic bird display from Whitie's Pets. The yellow bird in this photo was kind of a staff favorite, he only had one leg. He was still very happy and active, though. Tina thought he was a trooper!

Tina got to experience the joys of bonsai at the Fair: being small enough that they ALMOST look like real trees!

Tina even found something smaller than she is! The miniature flower arrangements!

Stay tuned for part 2!
