Hello from the Alaska State fair. It was happening just a few miles from where we are staying, so we said "Why Not?" I just saw the 1000+ pound pumkin. The winning cabbage weighed in at 73.4 pounds. That's what happens when you get 20+ hours of sunlight in the summer.

Jen took my picture next to the Big Eli ferris wheel. It always brings me come comfort to know that the great big ferris wheel had its beginnings in Jacksonville, IL too.
