Pro tips
Bring a stroller if you have young kids. The fairgrounds are large, and little legs may tire quickly. Plus, strollers can help carry all the goodies you pick up along the way.
Check out the Farmers Market for fresh produce and local goods. It's a great way to enjoy the fair without spending too much on food from vendors.
