This is a biased review, limited in scope but totally worth noting.
Travis and I attended the State Fair spontaneously for a grand total of 2.5 hours Saturday night. I do not recommend showing up after 8 PM if you love cruising the Undergrand in search of Sham-Wow . The shopping networks close down by 9PM. But if all you want is a saturation of lights, smells, fried food and- what the heck- fireworks, make a fast and furious trip and do these things.
1) butterfly house
2) favorite fried sweet thing
3) juicy turkey sandwich on bun
4) giant slide- skirts welcome
5) pronto pup
6) sweet corn ice cream- just ask Rick
7) simultaneous viewing of fireworks and dance-off on Grandstand bridge-booties will shake
cost:
$12 entry
$12 parking
$3 adult butterfly pass
$6 fried sweet thing
$6 juicy turkey
$2 giant slide
$4 pronto pup
$4 rootbeer
$5 ice cream
