The blue ribbon for the Most Over-Priced Item At The Kentucky State Fair goes to the folks at the Coco Bongo booth for their $8 Monkey Nut. For those not familiar with this tropical delicacy, it's a fruit smoothie served in a coconut shell carved to look like a monkey. I'm pretty sure I saw the coconut monkey cups at Everything's A Deal or at Big Lots. (On a side note, the Most Over-Priced Item Sold At Slugger Field is a smoothie served in a plastic tiki glass, also for $8.)
The prize for the Most Reasonably Priced Item At The Kentucky State Fair (reasonably priced by state fair gouging standards) goes to the few booths selling cold bottled water for only $1. Concession stands sold bottled water for $2.50 or $3, but you could find a few booths in the east wing selling it for a buck. Last year, one of the bigger churches in the county was giving away free bottles of Dasani water. This year, they only gave you a free bottle of water if you asked for information on joining their church.
The award for Best Free Item At The Kentucky State Fair goes to the healthcare group that was giving out free purple yo-yos. They couldn't open the cases and hand them out fast enough.

Here's an observation by one of my posse, JM. Thanks for being one of my faithful readers, JM. You rock.
I guess Sunday afternoons are the peaceful times at the fair. I am sad to announce that I only viewed 1 Git-R-Done shirt, no Daisy Duke shorts and only 3 guys who should be wearing the shirt they have hanging out of their pocket. Of course one of these morons, who has a trick mirror in his house that makes him think he looks like a body builder or somewhat close, had his shirt off in the South Wing. That's right, he was in the air conditioning. In your words W.T.F.
