Styx and the OC Fair

Classic rock and I mean classic . Troy and I saw Styx in concert at the Pacific Ampatheater at the Orange County Fair. We had so much fun!

When we first got there we were on a mission to just eat. We had already accepted that the fair food was completely unhealthy and outrageously expensive but we were there on a mission. First we got the Austrian Fried Potatoes with ranch dressing. They were to DIE for! Then we headed further down food row and Troy got the turkey leg and I got the 16” weiner with peppers and onions. This thing was huge and I didn’t end up finishing it.

After dinner we walked around and window shopped. We bought some candy from one of the vendors to munch on at the concert. After window shopping we rested our feet and our bellies and sat on a bench by the bathroom and watched all the people go by. The fair is second best for people watching next to Disneyland. We had so much fun just sitting there.




Then it was off to the concert. Styx came out and did an awesome show. It was great because there was no boring opening band. It was straight to the main event. It was funny because the lead singer announced one of the songs as a hit in 1976… clearly before our parents even graduated high school. We were surrounded by a mix of ages, to my surprise, but mostly they were all old people.

We have another set of tickets to go to the fair again. I think we are going to hold off going until Heather and Joe go so we can have another fun fair feast and all share greasy, yummy, and delicious food! I still want to try the deep fried butter which evidently is shoved into something that resembles a chirro.

All in all it was an awesome night with my awesome hubby!
