Do you still go to your State or County fair?

That sounds like a good time, that's how they do our local bar rib contest. I've won it two times so I'm out, but I get to judge next yr.

Does this mean after two wins, you can't compete anymore?

We have large chili cookoff that has been going on for 30+ years, with 40+ teams, and 3,500+ attendees. A lady on the FedExpress team won the green chili category so many times in a row, she voluntarily stopped entering.

Haven't been to the Ohio State Fair in years. Better people watching than at Walmart. Just not my thing.

A few years ago went to a County Fair about 30m from here as daughter's cheer team with in a competition there. Had VERY low expectations BUT soon found cold cheap beer and some fantastic food in particular, a fried veggie stand that was ASTOUNDINGLY good which my family all agreed was best we ever had.

OMG so funny to see people say State Fair is ghetto but yeah there is some truth to that. I decided to embrace that and go to a fried chicken stand where let's just say I stuck out LOL. Got a small order and used the mystery hot sauce in a water bottle and it was damn good eats. I am 99% sure after doing all this pickling I have done, that hot sauce was Frank's/Crystal/etc cut with some pickled red hot brine or the like.

I went to our local county fair one year. It was when my wife and I first moved to Arkansas. Never again. We didn’t fit in. We were both wearing deodorant and my wife had/has teeth.

So... you're saying you fit in now? We've seen your teeth!

I was just thinking about the horse races last year in Tillamook.
Tragedy, when one horse tripped about 20 yards out of the starting gate and broke a leg.
Comedy, when 2 other horses decided they could run faster without that dead weight on their backs, and quickly bucked off their jockeys. 110 lb jockeys make for poor rodeo bronc riders.

First time I went I was pretty young so it all went over my head. We loved it since we got stuff that you could NEVER get today as kids like chinese stars and butterfly knives.
