The Deep Fried Fair

Day 2 at the Great NY State Fair... here I pose with Maggie & Chris, fellow employees.

Today on our show we had the Harlem Wizards. They were very entertaining, the crowd loved them.

We also had Yooooolanda Vega! She's one of the spokespersons (and lottery hosts) for the NY State Lottery. And with tonight's big Mega Millions drawing ($333 mil), it was fun having her on the show. She promised me back stage that she'd make sure my numbers were drawn...

Here's a view of some of the audience. Very fun crowd! (They get especially excited if you throw them free t-shirts.)

Here's a photo of my lunch today. The hot dog platter from the Dinosaur BBQ. Yum!

And before I left to head back to the station, Beebs and I had a very important errand to run... so we took a golf cart...

Over to the Deep Fried Mashed Potato booth!! And yes... they were as fantastic as they sound!

This is a photo of the famed Deep Fried Mashed Potatoes on a stick.... served with a side of sour cream.

Beebs got the combo plate... complete with the mashed potatoes, fried ravioli, fried mac n cheese, fried crab rangoon and a couple of meatballs! Holy fried food!
