The Wisconsin State Fair is the second or third best state fair in the country if I remember correctly. 879,322 people come to the Wisconsin State Fair August 5-15th. Our fair is awesome- there is so much here it is unbelieveable. There are 4 (HUGE) cow barns, 2 (HUGE) horse barns, 1 pig barn, 1 goat barn, 1 sheep barn, 1 barn with exoctic animals like emus, ostriches, peacocks, etc. There are animals all over the place. There are a bunch of 4-H buildings too. Thousands of vendors are spread out in 2 different expo buildings and all over the fair grounds, the famous creampuffs (which I think are gross), cheese eating competitions, numerous horse shows, and tons of cow, pig, sheep, and goat judging. At night there is always a concert (usually Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, etc) or two. LOVE THE WI STATE FAIR! This year was the 153rd anniversary.

I just got back home from the Kentucky/Kentucky State Fair and I am pretty bummed, far from what I was expecting- I set my expectations too high. The WI State Fair makes the KY State Fair look like a county fair.
