State Fair
I went to the SC Upstate State Fair (or whatever you call it), and I'm afraid I wasn't that impressed.
I feel it was overpriced (food, cost for entry, and cost for rides). There were very few exhibits (no tractor-, horse-, oxen-pulls; no horse races; no 4-H animal competitions; very few animal exhibits period; and very few rides).
Also, their french fries were not homemade. They were the frozen, crinkle-cut stuff. They didn't even have any vinigar for the french fries! However, there were fried twinkies, fried candy-bars, and fried pickles.
One cool thing, though. When I parked, I parked next to a vehicle with the beautiful NH plates. They were getting out, and I found out they owned property in beautiful New Durham. They recently moved down here because the dumb zoning board wouldn't let them use their property for what they wanted to use it for.
Must get back to work...
P.S. Please vote in the poll to the left. I would like some feedback from some of my viewers.

You complain a lot!
Oh, and your poll is on the right, not the left.

Went with my wife and 18-month old. Other than the fact that my son enjoyed the goats and cows, it was pretty much a waste of $$ for the same reasons you mentioned (no pie contest, largest pumpkin contest, 4-H, races, etc...none of the stuff that makes a state fair really interesting.)
