going to texas state fair again in dallas this year.
i lived in dallas years ago and found out the day to go is the day of the ou-texas game, which is in the center of the fair. not a whole lot special about it and its mostly just to see who came up with a new way to make fried food, but its still fun to go toTGR forums cannot handle SkiCougar !

There's really only one reason to go the Wisconsin State Fair:
It makes perfect sense...until you think about it.
I suspect there's logic behind the madness, but I'm too dumb to see it.

Went to MD state fair last week.
The young kids racing ponies was fun to watch.
Took some funny sheep picks, but posting pics is a pain round here.
Had some fun on the ferris wheel also.

NY STATE Fair FTW- Anyone know what Spiedes are?
I have a big customer of mine that runs three trucks around the country to these fairs. They stock electrical items, lighting, TV monitors, sound systems, etc. Anything a Carnie would need to repair his ride, booth, or Elephant Ear vending stand. I have been to their trade show in Gibstonton, FL (Carnie world HQ, and famous winter quarters of the circus back in the day), and it is an interesting world. There is an entire caste system in place.
The guys and gals that own the carnival or fairgrounds all get the primo spots on the Midway. That is where all the highest profit food stands go. Those are the top dogs, and they make some serious cash. As you move away from the Midway, the profits drop, and those are the lower end "carnies" that we think of, along with the people they hire.
The I first met these guys, I was expecting what we all would expect. When they pulled up in Mercedes SLK's and Range Rovers, I started to get it. All cash business is good.

Yep.
They also have an excelled corn on the cob...but I’m guessing lots of fairs have that.

You're right but I'm guess Ventura doesn't have rodeo grounds. I wonder how many fairs also include rodeos and if that is mainly something you see out west.
Next big events we have out here is the wild and woolly Pendleton Round-up, a crazy insane alcohol fueled event.“When you see something that is not right, not just, not fair, you have a moral obligation to say something. To do something." Rep. John Lewis

There’s a new Alaska state record for giant pumpkins
Dale Marshall of Anchorage broke his previous state record by nearly 600 pounds when the pumpkin he entered this year tipped the scale at 2,051 pounds during the Alaska State Fair weigh-off Tuesday.
“It was mind blowing," Marshall said.
"I wasn’t even thinking 2,000 pounds. I thought it would weigh between 1,700 and 1,900 pounds using the tape measure method. In pumpkin growing land around the world that is an elite club to grow 2,000. Nobody has grown a pumpkin this size this far north in the world.”
Marshall said he thought weather was a big factor this year. “With all the sunny days I got plenty of heat in the greenhouse. The pumpkin is 89 days old. Nothing happens the first days. In 79 days, it grew to 2,051 pounds. That’s an average of 25 pounds per day. It grew 50 pounds a day in parts of July. Marshall said growing the pumpkin required at least 75 gallons of water a day, and as much as a couple hundred gallons a day.
“I still can’t believe it,” Marshall added ...
