Since it's only once a year I don't feel too bad about spending the money. It was pay day too, and that helped. I'm glad you have fond memories of the fair. If you guys ever come for a visit during the fair, we will have to go together! Jill, it does cost a fortune and I am convinced there isn’t anything that is good for you!

I know it ends this weekend. We just walked around and ate and tried some of the new fried foods. I really love the lottery game, so we watched it twice. There were not really too many free things this year. If you test drove a car you'd get a backpack, and you could sign up for a free hat. Other than that, we paid for everything and each spent around $50 to $100! Doris, I made a new post about what we did at the fair if it’s not too late for you guys. I know it ends this weekend.

When Brendan and I started dating I was still living there and when he came to see me I took him to the fair. Needless to say - I have very fond memories of that fair. :) Have a great time! Fair food is certainly not WW friendly is it? When we went to the fair to see Danielle perform this year, I would have eaten my way through that place had everything not been so damn expensive! We ended up leaving and having a nice lunch at a brew pup instead - but I sure missed my corn dog and funnel cake! I loved the State Fair when I lived in Texas!!

You can get some exercise during the State Fair and come visit us at The Women's Museum just north of the Esplanade! We've got 3 floors of exhibits (and lots of stairs) as well as the Girls That Rock! Music Festival on the weekends. Have fun at the State Fair! Hey Laurie!
