Orono Fair 2025!

             Today, I got to go to the Annual Orono Fair with my dad and is always an annual thing for us and I got one of our moderators Sheldon so hyped up, he's at the Orono Fair this evening which is so cool. Maybe next year he can come with my dad and I, or even if he wants to come to the Winter Fair that is most definitely a possibility but anything is possible. So much to see and do at the Orono Fair, they have a Tractor Pull on going and started like 200 pounds then by the time we left, it was at 9000 pounds which is insanely heavy if you ask me and a Minneapolis Moline was pulling it. Also arts and crafts with also local vendors and yes I took a picture of the Zamboni as it was parked in the middle of everything as this was in the rink next to the Fairgrounds.

      You have your basic fair food, I had a basic sausage was good especially with mustard. Anyways we looked at all the tractors and yes I did tally up everything and will do a post on Monday as I will be putting the stats together either tonight or tomorrow and will do a cool different graphs and stats for you guys that I will share. Saw the chickens, goose, ducks, roosters, boy their loud! I love the fuzzy head and feet ones in my own opinion. Saw cows,  Herford and Black Angus beef which is good for Steaks and hamburger meat. Also saw sheep as well as well as Pigs and piglets already growing up. Finally saw the more modern Tractors, plows, lawnmowers, small loaders, digger and much more. We got fudge for my mom and my dad got coasters for his car drink holders which look very cool. Anyways that is the post for today, enjoy your Sunday and as always I will talk to you all on Monday!

Orono Fair in a Week!

              In a week, I will be at the Orono Fair representing ChrisBOnTheWeb Media but I will be a bit icognito but if you see me do not hesitate and say hi to me in person. I am really looking forward to this event and I always enjoy going to the fair and it tells us that Fall is OFFICIALLY hear and the event that launches all the other fall events that we have schedule. 

             You know I will be taking solid notes and will be blogging about it as we always do year after year. I am not sure what day I will be going but it can be either Friday or Saturday at the most when I am actually able to go with my dad and that has not been confirmed as my dad is currently out of town on his annual trip with my brother and my niece and nephew, his grandkids. Once I know what day, I will update the events schedule page.

Kars on King 2025!

         Well, well, well.... Here we are once again with Kars on King 2025! I cannot believe or fathom how fast this year and summer has gone by and it is time for the annual Kars on King. It is my favorite end of the summer tradition continues and it has been for several years minus Co-Vid times. So much to say, so many cool cars and boy this year I could talk cars as I knew practically all the parts in a typical car engine. So this Kars on King most definitely held near and dear to my heart. A lot of cars I've not seen before and of course as you can see the Austin Mini aka the Mr. Bean car being my usual hopes and dreams to seeing one of these every year along with the 59 Impala with Wings and of course the Etzel car aka the Lemon Car. 

          Also they moved the actual stage to the parking lot near Avanti's an Italian restaurant one of my favorite Italian restaurant locally here for us. I am glad they moved it to the side so we have more room to maneuver on the streets and of course more room for cars as well.  I love these changes and makes it even better so my applause to the city and organizers that put on this event every year. Also ran into my aunt and uncle as we always do every year so it was nice to see family. Anyways that is the post for today and as always, I will talk to you all on Monday for another new week with more content!

Fiesta Week 2025!

              This week I went to 2 out of the 3 pavilions as I had a bit of a meltdown but least you guys are seeing 2 out of the 3 but here is my review on Fiesta Week 2025:

Polish Pavilion (Wednesday, June 18th, 2025): It is the closer out of the two pavilions near home but been here before and it was delicious. Might of been 2 times actually. However this time I had 5 perogies which had cheese and potato in it. Awesome as long as I have it with sour cream. 10 out of 10 on the Perogies. That wasn't just the only thing I got was a meat on a stick and soon as I pick it up, it fell apart which means it was cooked very well and very, very fresh. I am lost for words how to describe it but was very delicious.

Caribbean Pavilion (Club Carib) (Thursday, June 19th, 2025): One of my favorite evenings every, got to see some Caribbean entertainment, including dances from juniors, intermediate and senior groups for dancing and also the Steel Drums which I love those. I had Chicken Roti which had potatoes, Chicken in a wrap. I found it dry but that was the potatoes as we all know how potatoes are. It was very spicy. It was the curry that was spicy but still really good. Also I had a Jamaican Patty which was also delicious. 

               Those are the two I went to this year. I will most definitely going to the Greek Next year that is a wrap with this week's events till July 1st when I will be down at the lake for Canada, possibly. Anyways I will be going live this afternoon for an update stream both on FB/YouTube.
