Larchmont Family Fair

On a Sunday afternoon, 10/26 to be exact, the weather was perfect for a stroll. Dr. P and I decided to have a walk around the neighborhood. Wewalked a few blocks to Larchmont Blvd for coffee without knowing the entire street was blocked off for the Larchmont Family Fair on that day.  Good we didn't drive.



Pony rides for the kids.  Those ponies are adorable.  But I kinda feel sorry for them.  They had to walk around in circle all day long.  Must be boring job.  They also had a little petting zoo with sheep and chicken.  It was funny watching little kids trying to catch the chickens.  Again, I feel sorry for the chickens.




There was a big fire truck.  They let kids get on the truck to take pictures.  A few firemen were there to explain to the kids about different parts of the fire truck.  I really wanted to get on the truck, too.  But I'm not exactly a kid anymore and was too embarassed to ask.  @^_^@



There were a lot of food booths.  Most of the booths were sponsored by the schools around the area.  I was surprised to find out that most of the private schools were operated by Koreans.  All the Korean school booths offered the same food, kalbi, kimchi and rice.  A small plate with 2 strips of kalbi was $8!  That was expensive. 


Thai Food Plate ($5.00)

We found a less expensive Thai food booth.  Well, it was still sort of expensive with the small amount of food.  The beef satay was $1 each.  A few bites of pad thai was $3.  So this plate was $5.  The satay beef was really good, especially with the peanut sauce.  The pad thai lacked flavor.  But it was a good afternoon snack.

I love fairs.  It's always fun walking around fairs.  Especially on that day there were a lot of cute little kids in costumes.  But why does fair food always have to be so expensive?
