At the starting gates. We leave
the bus corral, and head towards the fair grounds. |
|
|
The turnstiles, and entry gates.
After years of visiting the fair, this has become a familiar sight. |
|
|
|
|
|
The water ride sits just off
of the entrance to the Fair. This is the first thing you see when you come
in, and seems to welcome and invite. |
|
|
More families come down the
chute. |
|
|
The Fair is a very crowded place. |
|
|
Looking around to get my bearings,
I see nothing but food, people, and large rides off in the background. |
|
|
Looking down towards numerous
food stalls, and kitchen trailers. There is better food located further within
the park. |
|
|
|
|
|
Trees and people |
|
|
A long look down a human packed
lane, where it is not even possible to see the pavement. |
|
|
The State Fair Penny Arcade
sits off to the right. The Stop sign seems pretty out of place here, and
I do not envy any motor vehicle which tries to navigate this throng. |
|
|
A rare open space appears as
we navigate towards one of the side streets. |
|
|
This way to the animals, the
exhibitors, and the livestock. |
|
|
The smoke from cooking fires
hang in the air. The smell of food is everywhere here. |
|
|
Everywhere you look, there are
more people. A pair of balloons indicate a child below. |
|
|
A look down one of the main
ways, gives an indication of just how crowded this place is. |
|
|
Food and people mix everywhere
here. |
|
|
A look up a tree lined avenue
towards the grandstand. |
|
|
Left: One of the many stages throughout the grounds. Below: A wide boulevard acts as a main avenue of the park. |
|
|
|
|
|
A general store, which sells
a bit of everything. This is primarily for the exhibitors, and for those staying
on the grounds. |
|
|
A look towards the grandstand,
with some of the food stalls to the left. |
|
|
A look up at the Sky Glider. This converted
ski lift spans the park. |
|
|
This woman obviously has an opinion that
she wishes to share. |
