Every year, I always head over to the California State Fair with friends and family. I often go twice when the fair is still ongoing. Yesterday was the first time going since it first opened on July 14th, 2010. The last day is July 31, 2010. So that means I need to hustle over again this week before it ends. I'm hoping my second time will be without a wheelchair.
We didn't take too many pictures because we were too busy having a blast and playing the scavenger hunt. We'll be definitely doing it again next year! It was sooooo much fun and it contributed to a great cause: helping the Sacramento Food Bank and Family Services.
I'm excited about tomorrow! Please let it be perfect weather. I hope I'm over this cold by tomorrow morning. These sudden changes in weather does no good to my body. I've been hitting the history books pretty hard and my partner, Philliam Wallace... he is just grazing by without a care in the world.
really, babe? is this why you decided to date a history dweeb instead of the models you've dated in the past? -___-;;
Wish us luck tomorrow! It'll be loads of fun, whether we win or not. =)
California Legislative Black Caucus Reception I RSVP'd myself and two other friends (Mermaid and Miss USA), who I know are bigger art and history geeks than myself, for a Legislative Black Caucus reception where we would be able to view the Kinsey Collection with the collectors themselves. I was ecstatic to see Shirley and Bernard Kinsey there and giving background information on their infamous collection of African American and African artifacts. I've been wanting to see this collection ever since I learned about it in my Black and African American History class (yes, that's what it was called). As you know, I did a second major in U.S. History, so I was already familiar with who the Kinseys were and I knew all about their generous contribution to education. It was a great reception, with speeches given by the governor, legislators, and Shirley and Bernard Kinsey followed by live music, food, and open bar. I didn't drink because my "potential future" boss was mingling in the crowd as well. Enough chatter from me. Pictures are down below. =) See photos of members of the legislatures, secretary of state, the governor, the Kinseys themselves, the museum, and three giddy girls down below. Click to enlarge!
