State Fair

"Our state fair is the best state fair, yes the best state fair in the state!" I spent the day at the Iowa State Fair with some good friends, the Dawsons. We went around and saw all the exhibits and ate too much! The best thing about the Iowa State Fair is all the exhibits. There are a lot more things to see at the Iowa State Fair than in the Wisconsin State Fair. In Wisconsin there are a lot of beer tents and people with booths trying to sell you things but not many exhibits showing the things that people from the state have made or things they did. Iowa has building after building of these types of exhibits. That is the whole purpose of the fairs; to show off what your county or state had to offer. Baking contests, quilts, art work, and giant vegetables grown in your state. Something to be proud of that your state/neighbors have done, not beer tents and vendors. I can shop at the mall if I want to, not the state fair.
