Fair time!

Who all is going to the fair?

What is the main thing you go for? people watch, food, rides, concerts, etc.

Re: Fair time!

  • Ya know, I've never been to the state fair. I think that streak may be broken this year though...my sister's performing with a salsa group she's a part of, so I'll probably drive down to see her work it on the dance floor.

    And, of course, to pig out.

  • I go for allll of it!! I heart the fair!!! I love the food and looking at animals (the baby ones that are just born, pig races, sea lion show). We always have a blast. I've never rode a ride though. Going tonight for the Eli Young Band concert! woot!woot!
  • I have only been once and it was about 10 years ago. I would like to go again though. I have never had an indian taco, which I hear are really good, so I'd like one of those and a funnel cake sounds awesome!!! Plus I need to get some good walking/waddling in. Not sure if I can talk H into going though.
  • I haven't been to the fair in literally 20 years. That makes me feel so old! Dh says we are gonna go this year but we'll see if it happens! I don't know what to expect except funnel cakes.

  • I love the fair (more specifically, the Tulsa State Fair). I haven't been the OKC fair in YEARS. Before I was 10 years old...anyways, I'm looking forward to going! I don't usually eat fair food, I just like to go for all the shopping and wine tasting!

  • I'm definitely going... maybe even twice!  I try to go every year but I don't always make it.  I go primarily for the food and then the people watching.  I don't care for the rides at all or the performances.  I get a good laugh at some of the 4-H entries too. 
  • Oh, my, I love, love, love the fair.  I go for everything.  The food is so yummy.  There's usually some kind of great junk item I can buy (jewelry cleaner, $20 sheet set, etc.).  We usually take in at least one free music concert.  And, people watching while drinking beer, who doesn't like that?
  • We go to people watch, look at the vehicles, look through the booths...but mainly we just go for the food.

  • Before I got married, I never went. Now we always go with DH's grandparents, and it's a lot of fun. I am going to have a corny dog and a cinnamon roll, and I am prepared with an extra workout. :D
  • Yes, we are going! DH wants to go at least twice to eat. I can't wait to get fried EVERYTHING! haha. I also like to people watch. We never ride the rides or play games really.
  • I only go because H gets free tickets. I like to people watch :)

    Maybe it is just because I just ate (went to Iron Starr, got the lite platter with one meat and I have been eating it for three days), but the food just sounds so gross when you mention it.

  • YES! I love the fair, I haven't been to an OKC fair (as I have only been here 6 months) or a state fair in more than 4 years. I am super excited as I love to people watch, eat, ride rides and just have fun!
