The layout from That aerial looks so similar to the Ventura Co Fair...Quote:

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.Quote:

Oh no. Ventucky has a rodeo. The grounds are just to the north of the smaller ferriswheel on the left of the image. They also race dirt track carts in the rodeo ring. “Bakersfield-by-the-sea”Quote:

That’s just rude.

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 ...

That thing basically added a 6 year old child in weight every day in July?
I don’t trust it.
Amazing given their short growing season up there.Quote:

So the Wisconsin State Fair was a topic on this radio show I was listening to today, specifically the menu. I gotta say, when it comes to fried stuff, foods on sticks, or generally heart-disease-inducing foods, the Wisconsin State Fair has got its shit dialed.Quote:

Some of these I'm buying two of and not even thinking twice - like the beer garden brat on a stick. Others, what the fuck? I'm looking at you gummy bear brat.
Wow. That’s making me hungry.
Except for the bugs. I’m no bug muncher.
But Wisconsin has clearly upped their game
It was even good when I was a kid in WI, but damn, they've taken it up several notches.
"Chicken Bacon Ranch Waffle Stick (belgian waffle stick filled with
chicken, drizzled with ranch dressing, and topped with bacon)"
You can find that apparently over at Waffle Chix in section G15
Did you guys see this?

Clam chowder poutine is pure genius.
But how did the concept of poutine get to Wisconsin. Not to mention clam chowder. Wisconsin clams used to be bearded.
PS. Not state fare food. But I finally ordered a “California “ burrito.
Rice and beans replaced by French fries. It was good in a bad way.
Holy shit, that looks good! Except maybe for the bug apple. It’s a good thing I don’t live anywhere near WI, or I’d need to buy larger clothes.Quote:

Never hit WI State fair but did Iowa state fair a few times as a kid and Utah State fair (underwhelming ) as an adolescent. Plus many county fairs in IA and TN
Hit the MN state fair while visiting my grandparents in IA with a college friend from MN and it was definitely something. Lienenkugels ( which was unheard of in UT & CA at the time) and cheese curds feature prominently in that memory, and a lot of large people. Havent hit any state fairs since moving east, but did go to the Fryeburg Fair once not long after moving here. https://www.fryeburgfair.org/ As a mountain west kid living in Manhattan, I was unprepared for the overwhelming Maineness of it all. My wife ( from Northern NH) got a kick out of my slackjawed gaping. the Oxen handlers with the beards and the coveralls and the accents, the huge horses, the everything. It def has to be experienced.
Looking forward to some county fair action in Upstate NY this weekend. Might hit the tractor pull
