Well... I heard it got voted "Best State Fair" but I don't know the validity of that.
It was pretty much like any other year. Personally, I like it OK.... there are some pretty good shows and I like the old engines, etc. My wife enjoys it alot, but she likes spending an entire day in a flea market too! LOL.
There is SOMETHING for everyone - even flaming golf carts. I think it's a good thing just to spend the day with the family away from home and the routine. If nothing else ya get that once a year funnelcake, corndog, whatever on a stick, etc.
