This Years County Fair Was Fairly Good. The Rides Were… Allright. Where Was The Spin-Out? The Fireball Was Cool. The Hypnotisum Was Really Entertaining. The Food & Drinks Was A Bit Over Priced, & So Were The Tickets & Entry Fee. The Rides Were Too Squished On The Property. Lines Were Interfearing/Combining With Eachother. It Tends To Rain Every Year Around The Same Time. I Would Think That They Would Change The Event Date To Maybe A Different Time Of The Month. It Rains And Pours Every Year In The Middle Of September. You Would Think That They Would Know By Now Huh? I Guess Not…

Most of the food and virtually all of the booth vended food is made to raise funds for community organizations…Looks like your loco was by the Waiakea Pirates…a little league baseball association…some of the people involved have done it before but many have not…so you’re bound to get variable quality. Last year I worked in a fried rice booth which did well…first time for me. First night I got good instruction and I think the product was good. Second night, I found all new people who had started only minutes before I arrived and it seemed like they got minimal instruction…the guy putting the ingredients in was throwing things in as fast as he could so things weren’t really getting cooked, like the bacon! When I politely suggested that we should let the bacon cook first, before dumping in the rest of the ingredients and rice, he gave me a smartass reply that it must be so bad that’s why there are so many people in line…typical guy jerk. Can’t be told there is a better way…I’ve always hoped we didn’t make people sick that night…Nice blog idea, James. Beware of county fair food booths!

coming from minnesota, no fair is complete without some deep-fried cheese… *grin* course, we put everything you can think of on a stick and deep-fry it.

ever tried a pickle stuffed with cream cheese deep fried on a stick? you can pretend its healthy ’cause there’s a cucumber involved…

[...] Sad to say, the burger really brought this one down. I believe that the burger was the same one I had in the loco moco at the County Fair. [...]

hi, james. i think the lehua jaycees fair is sometime in the spring. i remember it being one fair per semester, so you’ll probably have to wait till next year for it. it’s also held at the civic and if i remember correctly, it’s almost exactly the same as the hilo jaycees fair! that’s hilo for ya! anyways, i now live back on o`ahu now, but hope to move back to hilo permanently some day….oh how i miss it!

Lope, thanks for visiting! I’ll definately try the fried rice loco at Lehua Jaycees fair… when/where does that happens? Also, where do you live now?

I forget who did the sodas this time, but will post more booths up next year! I’m gonna see if anything progressed.

james…you should try the fried rice loco at the lehua jaycees fair. when i lived in hilo i remember that the locos were always better at one fair than the other…i just don’t remember which one. it’s funny cause i haven’t been to a hilo fair in 5 years and it looks like the food set up is the same!! by the way, do the uh-hilo baseball boys still do the sodas?
