| A sculpture in the center of town.
| The accompanying plaque. I never know that Morgan Hill was named after
a family (Hiram Morgan Hill, his wife, and child).
| One major pedestrianized street has single-family houses on it (at
right) -- how unusual!
Also notice the hills in the distance.
| The entrance to one street in the fair.

| An adorable tiny donut-making machine, like a Krispy Kreme machine
that's been shrunk.
| The tiny donut machine is at this stand, Harvey's Gourmet Donuts. At
left, you'll notice they serve donuts in paper cones with optional
sprinkles, powdered sugar, chocolate syrup, etc. (things commonly
associated with ice cream toppings).
| One booth offered financial advice that probably ought not to be taken.
| One of the t-shirt stands with many funny shirts. Read some!

|
| A stand that sold floofy animals (ostriches?) and parasols. Yes, the
animals are in focus -- they're just very fuzzy.

| Food I Ate

| In one of the two food areas, I bought a stuffed mushroom from this
stand. Notice the shaved ice and BBQ stands beyond it. The BBQ stand
tempted me greatly, but I decided to stick with the mushroom theme.
| My stuffed portobello mushroom cap. Good.
| This booth only sold deep-fried vegetables. I chose it to order my
deep-fried mushrooms from it.
| My deep-fried mushrooms. I had to wait for them because they were
selling them as fast as they could make them. These were hot and crispy
outside and soft, mushy, and moist inside. Good.

| Another sample of food booths. I took this picture because I bought
mushroom shrimp scampi from the stand in the center of the picture (run
by Gilroy Elks Lodge #1567).
| The shrimp and mushrooms looked delicious as they were being cooked.
And look at the chef concentrate!
| My shrimp and mushrooms over rice. Smelled strongly of garlic. Good.
The shrimp were especially delicious; I should've opted for ordering
with extra shrimp.
| My half-lemon, half-pineapple shaved ice, bought from the shaved ice
stand next to the stuffed mushroom stand in this picture. Can you tell the different
between the halves? Neither could I.
