As much as sometimes I wish I could live in Europe (It's so beautiful! And don't get me started on the food...) There is something America sure knows how to do right: State Fairs.
If you're not from the United States or you're confused, you probably still get the idea of what it's all about from the pictures. (Except that there are also farm animals, which I didn't care much to hang around, honestly).
Basically it's just a bunch of people and fried food and little exhibits and things with a bunch of carnival rides to boot, not to mention Minnesota's fair has a stand with the most delicious chocolate chip cookies around. (really). It comes every year and here it lasts for twelve days. I love this event shamelessly and am releasing all inhibitions about whether I might be deemed a stereotypical American because it is F U N. (albeit expensive, if you want to try lots of food.).
I always have a wonderful time and this was the first year that I brought my camera, which made it even better!
// The Ferris Wheel before sunset
\\ Corn Roast- They literally dip the corn in butter.
// Views from the Skyflyer (and that's just a little piece of the fairgrounds. They're much larger).
\\ Walking & photographing with my friends
// A candid of a stranger
\\ The famous cookie stand
// Late-night snacks
These pictures are so amazing! I wish England had fairs like this. The closest thing we have is County Shows which are like smaller and more commercial state fairs. They're stupidly expensive but you get a lot of free samples which is probably the highlight of the whole thing haha :))
