Fair Time!
We packed up the family in the ‘ol wagon and headed to the county fair today. This was Ethan and Autumn’s first time visiting a fair and they both enjoyed it. Ethan was determined to find the petting zoo to be able to touch a pig. He loved petting the pig, holding the chicken, and seeing the many other livestock at the fair. He was also able to see vintage tractors, ride a toy tractor, enjoy a roller coaster, munch on a corn dog and cotton candy, watch the lumberjack show, and take in the county fair scene. We’ll be sure to visit next year.
Wrestlemania’s Best Match: Steamboat vs. Savage
I lived for this stuff throughout my junior high and early high school years. I collected the magazines, videos, trading cards, action figures, and more. I watched the Saturday morning WWF shows and Saturday Night’s Main Event religiously. All the money earned from my newspaper route in junior high went straight to Hulk Hogan, British Bulldogs, and Ms. Elizabeth memorabilia. Of course now I’ve sold all of it through CraigsList, but that’s besides the point. It was fake, but entertaining; repetitive, but engaging; outrageous, yet hilarious. That’s why I think the match between Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat and Randy “The Macho Man”Savage was one of the best in wrestling entertainment.
As a kid watching Wrestlemania III in 1987, there were plenty of matches to be excited about: Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant, The British Bulldogs and Tito Santana vs. The Hart Foundation and Danny Davis. or Rowdy Piper vs Adrian Adonis. But it was this match that was truly about entertaining the crowd with theatrics, high-flying acrobats, and more.
