{''({o..o})''} 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2003 Hey Vern, another Minnesotian in the house! I'll be heading there on tuesday myself. It's kinda wierd though that I haven't heard of any new type of food on a stick this year. On a kinda related note do you ever hit the ren fest? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted August 24, 2003 Cheese on a Stick is my new favorite thing they had at a local fair...only they sold like 6 different types of cheese... Mozzerella, Pepperjack, Provolone and some other weird shit... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
{''({o..o})''} 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2003 The last new things I can remember at the Minnesota State fair are deep fried Twinkies and deep fried candy bars. And we wonder why this country has a weight problem... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2003 I went Sunday. It was crowded and too damn hot. The food wasn't has great as I remember it. I hadn't been there in like 5 years. Everything is pretty much the same. Most of the food is so disgusting. Deep fried Twinkies. That's gross. New this year is Key Lime Pie dipped in Chocolate on a stick. Something to do with Oreos (probably deep fried) is also new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2003 Eh, Maryland's is pretty pedestrian. Ren Faire > State Fair I've never been to the Maryland State Fair.. I have however been to the delaware State fair. Its fun cause you can do all the fun things in the day and then you can play the Slot Machines at night. I came home with more money than I had at the start of the day (I won about $100 playing 1 machine with about $10 worth of credits).. I do remember getting dooped into seeing the half woman, half aligator when I was a kid (I think they have different wierd crap now. Basically it was a fake alligator and a woman standing there with a mirror seperating the two so it looked like what it said it was supposed to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Kamala 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2003 The Maine state fair is like all the other county fairs and it's in a different part of the state as mine. In fact the biggest "attractions" last year were Billy Ray Cyrus and a "legends" of wrestling show main evented by King Kong Bundy Vs Jim Duggan. Talk about redneck heaven.

Guest wwF1587 Report post Posted August 26, 2003 i only go to fairs for the food.. im one of those people that can eat anything, anytime, all the time and not gain an inch... deep fried candy bars and oreos are great... deep fried twinkies suck though... pretty much anything you can think of can be deep fried and put on a stick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted August 26, 2003 deep fried candy bars were good shit, but the deep fried twinkies weren't so good. I dislike twinkies to begin with, so no surprise. Anyone else have those mini doughnuts at their fair? Those things are great. Elephant Ears suck...it's all about Funnel Cakes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sfaJack 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2003 Ours has one of the biggest, most important college football games of the year--Texas and A&M. Well, it's one of the most important games here in Texas, at least... Wrong. It's the Texas/Oklahoma game. Texas/A&M isn't until Thanksgiving, long after the fair has packed up and gone. And Texas/A&M plays a home-and-home series; Texas/OU is always at the Cotton Bowl. Just FYI... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest stardust Report post Posted August 26, 2003 Oops. I got my football games confused (and it's not because I'm a girl...I know my football). So sorry about that. But it's still one of the biggest games of the year, nonetheless. On a side note, we're playing OU this Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
