I found this sign to be very humorous. My stepmom and I were indulging in a funnel cake from the fair and I noticed this one. We happened to be sitting under what I will call the "ski lift" for the fair--It was just like a ski lift; it would carry people from one end of the fair to the other and back. Very cool (well, not so much if you happened to be on the lift, in the sunshine!).

I was able to make my trip to Portland, OR both a business and fun trip. For the first part, I had training for work. For the second part, I was able to visit with my dad and stepmom. We had stops at the Pittock Mansion (very cool place within the city itself); the Oregon State Fair (HUGE!); Thompson's Flour Mill (oldest one in the state and was inoperation up until 2005--started back in the 1800's!); and of course, my dad's hometown of Silverton.
