*BONUS: In the days leading up to the excitement of your trip to the fair, grab a copy of the old Rogers and Hammerstein movie, “State Fair.” It is a movie that your whole family will enjoy. It can be checked out at your local library. State Fairs have changed some from the past but they are a part of American heritage.
