We should be well on our way back to normal by that time if everyone does their bit over the next couple of months. Get the shot(s), wear your mask for a bit longer, and be responsible. [Reply]
I don't like most county fair food. I'm not into fried pickles or funnel cakes, and I can't stand cotton candy. Those big turkey drumsticks are fine, but they're more sustenance than fun. I do like snow cones, but that's about it. [Reply]

Iowa State Fair is all about the food.
And it is all deep fat fried. In fact two years ago the rage was deep fat fried butter. Sounds fattening but good [Reply]

Two really great eats at Mo Fair is the Beef House run by the Cattlemens Assn, Steaks and Burgers...hell of a line starting about 1030 am And The Pork Producers Building, great chops, pulled pork, and porkburgers.
Ice Cream at the Dairy building but again long lines

I would agree with you that deep fat fried butter sounds fattening. In fact, other than the raw whale blubber that's served at the county fairs in northern Alaska, I can't think of anything more fattening. [Reply]

MInnesota is worse. Hardly anything ag related there-just food. [Reply]
I went to a county fair a few years back to say hi to an acquaintance. He was a volunteer who judged entries in the crafts contest. When they did the judging, he would look at the pieces (like crocheted stuff), pick them up, study them from different angles, and then declare a winner. He had no background or experience with the crafts that he was judging so I have no idea what he was basing his decisions on. While I have no reason to doubt his integrity, it seemed like the process was structurally very vulnerable to corruption. [Reply]

The casting couch at the county fair is covered in doilies...and the tears of little old ladies who've just found out what it takes to make it in the harsh world of competitive needlepoint. [Reply]
