The fair itself is a great time, but the people that volunteer (they do volunteer, right? because god forbid they actually pay these people) to run the gates and direct traffic are the rudest people I've ever encountered.
Once you finally get parked, you have to deal with the ticket witch of the west. She rips the tickets out of your had with such malice, its like shes karen reluctantly accepting a refund from the manager. If thats not bad enough, she stamps your kid’s arm with such force they start crying. And the spitefulness is insane. Say anything out of the way as a result of these actions, and expect to be treated like a child in preschool. They’ll finish the conversation off with the kind of facetious “thank you very much” that would make a saint want to scream.
Again, I really hope they don't pay these people, because they aren’t worth the sub minimum wage dollars...

Homemade lemonade, soft pretzels etc. They have a derby too. It's a great place for the family. Another great year at the...
