I don’t know why but I decided to look up the best state fairs to visit. The article I clicked on listed the top seven by attendance and gave some things to see and eating tips for each one of them. California’s was the beer garden and tryouts for Wheel of Fortune. Texas was, of course, barbecue and deep-fried Nutella. The best thou was Ohio, who have a best facial hair competition for both men and woman and since 1903 life-size butter sculptures. Yes, you heard it right you can go to the Ohio state fair and see scenes of Ohio life carved out of butter, what could be more attractive than a carving of a girl milking a cow, out of butter! I don’t know about you but I am booking my flight and hotel right now for this year’s fair! I am kidding but I do love this stuff, the largest ball of twine the Cadillac ranch and all of the weirdness that is American and especially related to fairs and carnivals is just up my ally. I grew up in cities, lots of people, no farm animals, Starbucks on every corner, but somehow since I moved to the country I now find myself loving this stuff. Watching the llama competition is still a little on the dull side but some of the animal judgings are kind of fun. I haven’t gone all cowboy hat and boots but I would have to say that it looks like, after all these years of being a city boy, I finally have a little country running in my veins.
