Potwin and Kansas State Fair







Potwin, Kansas has recently decided to host “Biker Breakfast” the second weekend of each month. This was our second visit and it had grown since the first. Very friendly people live in Potwin, the mayor is right there welcoming everyone and asking what they can do to make it better. For us, keep Sharon’s Breakfast Burrito’s and we will be just fine. The best breakfast burrito served out of a portable trailer. If you want, she will smother it in sausage gravy too. Or, if you like it spicy, try it with her homemade salsa and the gravy! So good…..

After checking out the vendors Luke and Terry decided to drive to Hutchinson for the Kansas State Fair; it was opening weekend. I love the fair; the smells of all of the food, the always entertaining people, the buildings full of Kansas goods and of course the farm animals.

Our first stop was Llama’s, bad teeth but great wool. Then, over to the cattle where they were grooming them for their turn in the arena ring. I happened to catch a little boy squatting down talking on a cell phone; so cute and so at home, nothing really bothering him.

Over in the corner of the building was a cowboy with the craziest contraption; he would lead the calf into the harness and then turn it onto its side. Then, calf manicure! IT WAS NUTS! He would sand their hooves and then spray them down. Then, back down on all fours and out of the shoot. Amazing.

It was big fun, Terry waited for a while on a Krispy Kreme doughnut hamburger but gave up because the line was too line. So, corn dogs, roasted corn and lots of water and tea was our diet for the day. It ended with ice cream, tasty.

We said our good-byes and off to Wichita we went. At HWY 96 and Maize Road we broke down, dead, no power, AGAIN. We literally limped our way to Brooklyn’s parking lot at Zoo Boulevard and 235. Hello tow truck; and as we waited Red Beer.

The day was wonderful, there are ups and downs, the bike is now fixed, and ready to go again.

Adventurous? Always……
