On Tuesday, BLASTmedia took our annual field trip to the Indiana State Fair. Always an entertaining afternoon trip, this year’s fair did not disappoint. Packed with thousands of visitors, animals and food and carnival vendors, the Indiana State Fairgrounds treated us to the always popular Dairy Bar, the disturbing 1,277 pound “World’s Largest Boar” named Tickle-Me-Elmo III, Doughnut Burgers, Fried Butter, and the “Garbage Burger”–a pork patty covered with pulled pork on a bun, the Signature Food in the fair’s “Year of Pigs.”

Yes, in case you were wondering, we ate all of the above (with the obvious exception of Tickle-Me-Elmo III)!

It was a great day all around with many memories made, including watching a guy awkwardly dance with his cheesy potato curls as he slowly sat down on a bench, Ashley and Blake eating the Fried Butter (video below), and Kiersten, Emily and I plotting an incredible, Hollywood blockbuster movie involving farm machinery (keep your eyes peeled for this one in the next few years).

Here’s a photo of the BLAST crew at the fair and a short video of Blake and his Fried Butter experience. Thanks for another great event, BLAST!
