America’s Best State Fairs [View all]

[left-of-center2012]

While there are county fairs and events that take place throughout the year, many folks look forward to attending their annual state fairs.
Each one offers something unique, whether it’s a contest that’s been held for decades or a specific food that’s become a permanent fixture on the menu.
You might not make it to all of the state fairs, but some of the best ones might be worth visiting.

Some state fairs – including the state fairs in Mississippi, Vermont, Wyoming and Du Quoin (Illinois) – did not make it into our study because we were unable to collect enough information about them. We contacted their offices but did not hear back from them prior to publishing this article.

The State Fair of Texas was also omitted. Fair officials say that it’s difficult to track the number of people who attend the fair and therefore it does not release any data related to attendance.
