  The food me, Kay, & Rebecca got there. Clockwise from the top: Kay's lemonade and french fries, Rebecca's deep fried pickle chips and deep fried Reese's cup (!!!), my funnel cake and cherry soda. i got to keep the mug but unfortunately at some point i set it down and forgot to pick it up again (i think during the indigo dyeing demonstration), darn. :/

  One of the first things we saw when we walked in was this marvelous double ferris wheel. Rebecca & i subsequently decided we totally were going to ride it! :D

  The lone lime green sphere lies in wait, deflated.
• 
  Open Sphere, Insert Ferret.
• 
  Continue to insert ferret until fully enclosed in sphere.
• 
  Instruct ferret to plug ears and inflate sphere.
• 
  Continue until the sphere is fully inflated.
• 
  Notice that ferret has butterfly cap & confiscate.
• 
  Hold hat hostage in the event the ferret has notions of stealing sphere & hiding it under couch.
• 
  Wheeeeeeee!
• 
  Upside down in sphere!

  And having gotten into the sphere, what does the ferret do? Why, knit, of course!
• 
  Still knitting!
• 
  Indigo Dyeing! A very shiny process by which the yarn is green in the dyeing pot, but upon pulled out & exposed to the air, oxidizes into a loverly shade of indigo (and not really shown properly here)!
