Last weekend on September 29th, Aleksy and I had a free day to ourselves where we filled our day with a bunch of activities that were running for that weekend. One of the events that was running was Doors Open London, where we attempted to have a tour of Police Headquarters and Museum London, but there were long wait times and we ended up self-touring. We also went to tour the Palace theatre on Dundas St. downtown and we were a bit late for that as well. We did end up getting free tickets to 39 steps at the Palace Theatre later on Saturday night, which was a really good play!
Earlier on Saturday, we decided to head out to Ilderton to the fair. We decided that the Western Fair was great for concerts, but the Ilderton fair was more entertaining! We felt a little honky tonk...
The Ilderton fair was very traditional and they had stands of competitions for things like 'best apple pie', 'best banana chocolate chip muffin', for children like 'best rock pet', and of course jams, and other canning items. They had ribbons for 1st, 2nd to 5th :) Here is Aleksy supporting the 1st prize winner of best vegetable display!
While we are mostly city people, we sure do love a good tractor and country song. Here's Aleksy checking out the display of tractors.
And our favorite part of the Ilderton fair (caution to vegetarians): smoked turkey legs!!! These were so scrumptious (and to my surprise super filling!). We coupled these up with a couple of beers for and all-round good turkey leg experience.
Other fantastic parts of the fair: deep fried mini-donuts and brought home a big tub of apple cider.
mmmmmmmm TURKEY LEGS!!!!!! Such a fun weekend that was jammed with activities! I think the best part of that weekend was that we didn't really spend that much money to enjoy so many activities. Ilderton fair is probably my favourite fall fair!
