 I wrote an article for Hashtag West Virginia highlighting the State Fair of West Virginia a couple of weeks ago which reminded me of the many charms of the state fairs.
For budget-conscious families, state fairs offer affordable dining and fun close to home, and the fall is one of the best times to visit the state fair. The crisp air carries the scents of fresh-picked, farm-fresh food and the chance of sunburn decreases as you watch the horse, dog, and demolition displays from the grand stands. Munch on funnel cake and giant cinnamon rolls as you browse the crafts, stained-glass, and needlework of the state’s residents. Take your sweetheart on a ride around the Ferris wheel for a bird’s eye view of the activity and try to win larger-than-life stuffed animal prize at the ring toss. Give your kids a taste of old-fashioned pleasures such as fiddling, square dancing, and hay rides. And state fairs can be one of the best (and one of the most affordable) places to hear the biggest names in country music. This Labor Day weekend and fall, make time to go to the fair. All over America, the good times are rolling.

AuthorI am on a mission to get you traveling more often. As the host of the nationally syndicated television television for PBS and the Create channel, Beyond Your Backyard, I travel (on average) 25 weeks per year. I am very grateful for the opportunity to meet cool people, experience new places, eat delicious food and work with the best production crew in the world. Hopefully, through this blog, you will join me on my travels and be reminded just how exciting it is to be alive! Archives
