This the the fair that comes to my town (about 15 miles away from my house). http://www.idaho-state-fair.com/links.htm What kind of things do you all have? -------------------- With his last breath he took in more power then any Guardian could hold, then with a scream of pain and furry he unleashed it all to form a barrier betwen the Mantia and the Darkness.

WI state fair. Honestly, the biggest draws for me are thus- cream puffs (they really do draw in the crowds), maple-sugar candies and interestingly and well flavored milks. None of the events are really interesting, but there are worse ways to spend an afternoon. -------------------- 私のバラドですそしてころしたいいらればころす Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

The North Carolina State Fair. I enjoy it, even if Demonslayer doesn't. The food is probably my favorite part, as well. Otherwise, I just like looking at everything. It's got lots of rides and related booths that are entirely uninteresting to me. But there are a lot of crafts and other sorts of displays around that I do enjoy. -------------------- Sandwichs and Apples. Posts: 19 | Registered: Tuesday, May 20 2003 07:00 |

I'm from the big city. Growing up I never thought state fairs happened anymore, but died out at some vague point in the past and lived on only in nostalgic TV shows. It's kind of hard for me imagine them taking place in 2004, but then again, I don't have much of an imagination. Posts: 567 | Registered: Friday, October 5 2001 07:00 |

Agreed, dampeoples. The crowds are horrible. And last year... we had a shooting or something. Silly, silly "gangsters". -------------------- The critics agree!

Fairs around here...nothing really big, unless you count the occasional ones at the fairgrounds. Just a bunch of animals and artists; it isn't the best thing that's ever happened to me.

The idiodic(sp?) fair/party/random idiocy that the neighborhood arranges every summer. They goes as far to display cars, not special ones, mind you, ordinary, everyday cars. The day it runs I hide in the house and read/play computer games. EDIT: Oh, yeah, we also have the Baltimore Book Festival and Artscape. I like both of them.

We have the spokane international fairgrounds at our place with mostly stuff like booths, rides, cars, etc. Oh yeah, and lots of animals too. Then we have things like car and gun shows, locomotive stuff, and things like that throughout the year. -------------------- Austrian Alex - Reality Corp.

We have the NM state fair. I have never been there though. My class is going on a field trip there on Friday actually. I can't go though because I take quite a few classes outside of the standard classes for my grade and I can't miss all the work. It would be too much. -------------------- Wham Bam Shizam Posts: 247 | Registered: Monday, September 6 2004 07:00 |

Well, at least someone does. I go to no fairs, although the Washington County Fair is big around here. A big drain on the wallet is all it is. Not really worth it. -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon Polaris = joy.

The Kentucky state fair in Louisville, KY rules. Everyone comes out of the woodwork (and the hills) for it, and it's the only place you can go where you can ride a rollercoaster, watch a pipe-smoking contest, behold the winner of an ugliest lamp contest, and then have your eardrums burst in a stadium concert performed by Grand Funk Railroad, all in the same day, at least as far as I know.

Protest Marches. Oh, and sometimes we do have dance thingies and such. No fairs as such. We used to have pop festivals where rock stars would come and play stuff. As well as the usual big city activities. -------------------- quote:Random Jack Vance Quote Manual Generator Apparatus (Cugel's Saga) Posts: 604 | Registered: Sunday, June 20 2004 07:00 |

I used to go to the Tendring Show, an agricultural fair in my part of Essex. Animal shows (dogs, sheep, goats, rabbits, poultry, rats etc.,) various field sports demonstrations, particularly in the main arena (bloodhounds, carriage driving, falconing, demonstrations of how to reload a shotgun cartridge and the like,) an exhibition of work from the schools of the district, old cars, new car dealers, cheap sunglasses and camping equipment, tractors and the like. Not really my kind of thing. I haven't seen much like it anywhere else and I think its survival is mostly due to the fact that the area is rich enough that the locals haven't been priced out of the house market but we're just far enough out of the commuter belt for people to actually feel they have a connection with the land. It's still fairly small, however. It pales into insignificance compared with a major music festival. -------------------- Voice of Reasonable Morality Posts: 961 | Registered: Thursday, June 12 2003 07:00 |
