I don't like fairs.

Stinky, crowded, always in the middle of the hot summer, overpriced, sh!tty rides, etc. 

Nothing redeeming about them.

Texas State Fair runs from the end of September to middle of October  Weather in Dallas is usuallbly pretty nice for it.  TX-OU is almost always on the second Saturday of October, and the State Fair of Texas is an incredible backdrop for it.  There's really nothing else like it, not in American sports at least.  It's amazing.

Definitely crowded and overpriced, but my kids love it and as long as they want our family to go there and make memories, we'll be doing it for them.

  • magic show
  • hypnotist show
  • Wolves of the World show

  • Hot Dog: $1.50 (was $2)
  • Pretzel Bites: $4.50 (was $5)
  • ATL Bud Burger: $7.50 (was $8)
  • Ice Cream Waffle Cone: $4.50 (was $5)

Here's a better link: https://www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2021/08/these-are-the-drunkest-states-in-america-ranked/.

I wonder if home-distilled spirits escaped the data.  West Virginia looks suspiciously low.
Evidently a bunch of my buddies quit drinking - slackers

I fear I will be the same, I didn't want to go, but the daughter wanted to see it.  I guess it's a "thing".  I get a sense folks wants to gloat about seeing it at parties often as not (not the wife).  It's highly trendy, and highly expensive.  I've paid a couple hundred to see a couple football games, but these tickets are over double that.  The wife siggested I wear wear plugs, I gather it's loud.
