State Fair

I have never even been to a County Fair, so it was pretty exciting to go to the Iowa State Fair last week. Iowa has one of the largest state fairs in the U.S. It has been featured in the book "1000 Places to See Before You Die." The fair did not disappoint, with more livestock than I have ever seen in my life and plenty of deep fried food options. New food items for 2011 included Red Velvet Funnel Cake and Deep Fried Butter. The lines wrapped around the fair and I'm sure the wait was at least one hour.
