In a little less than 2 weeks, an exciting attraction will be arriving in our town. It's the State Fair! If you are connected to me on Facebook, you'll see pictures of how things are progressing out at the fairgrounds. There are a few rides, and they are unassembled, which makes it difficult to guess which rides they are. My initial inkling is that the Crazy Mouse is making a return, which means the WhiteWater is out. I saw a lot of track near the area where these rides are usually set. It's never both rides in the same year, it's either Crazy Mouse or WhiteWater. It's a space issue. They are both large rides, and the Midway doesn't have the room to accommodate both. Many individual food trailers are currently on the grounds, and my Facebook has pictures. More than likely, they are empty of food products, and are full of paper product. I will not be able to tell you where they will be set up, as they will be moved to their more permanent locations in the next week. For now, they are pretty much set up wherever. It was fairly quiet out there this afternoon, but I'm sure next week's trip will be a different story. There were a few people getting their booths ready, and some grounds crew doing some touch-up. There was a small horse show going on today.
Are you an exhibitor at the fair? Would you like a FREE plug? My blog reaches about 300+ people every day, and when I tag the Kansas State Fair in my blog, it's seen by many, many more. Let me know if you'd like me to come by your booth, take a few pics, and I'll post what you want the fairgoers to know about what you are promoting. I'll promote on this blog and on my Facebook page as well. This is something I am doing for free. I already have a few people on board, so if this is something you are interested in, get with me before all the days are gone. The best way to set this up is to contact me via Facebook Messenger.
Why do I love the fair so much? I love the atmosphere. I enjoy seeing people, some of whom I haven't seen in years! I like going through the buildings and seeing how much free stuff I can accumulate. I get a kick out my friends coming up to me and asking where they can find a certain booth. Sometimes, I'm pretty sure they don't want to find it, they just want to test me, and that's fine. I enjoy the fair food. I don't buy it a whole lot anymore, because I know how to make it, but I'll indulge in those things I only get once a year. I will also get something based on a reader's request, and then report on it. It's fun to walk through the storage sheds and campers, and if I'm lucky, I'll see a ribbon on my cookies! All of these things are a fun part of the fair! I simply can't understand why some people don't like it. That's OK, I'll enjoy it on your behalf!
In my next blog post, I'll answer any questions you submit via message and messenger, I'll have a better idea of where food booths will be located, I'll let you know where you can get the cheapest food and soda, and what booths you need to hit up. Some booths in the buildings on the west side of the grounds have free samples of coffee and dips, and one booth in particular has some of the best free stuff on their table. Keep reading as the days go by, and when the fair arrives, I'll have a daily report on what I did, what I ate, who I saw, etc.
2 weeks, people! Can't wait! Thanks for reading, and God bless you!
