Ohio girl here though originally from upstate NY. I would go for the elephant ears (they don't know what they are in Ohio, can only get funnel cakes) , steamed clams, crab legs, shrimp, steak tacos, fried zucchini, spinach bread and might have to try a buffalo burger as I have never had one. I believe we have a few places in the Cincinnati area that does sell them. As you can see, I want it all!! LOL!! I would walk out broke and 40 pounds heavier!! Great video. Thank you!

Our town fair starts the end of this week. It’s the 175 th year. I entered my granddaughter 15 yrs ago to the pageant and she won little miss Deerfield. I was so proud. Hopefully I go this year cause after my accident 8 yrs ago I have a hard time walking with my leg so have not gone. I may try this year because I had a total knee replacement last December and I walk a little better. Love your videos 💓

We have a fair here in Hamburg, Germany which happens three times a year 😅 Its all about the rides and foods and a great event for families, teenagers and adults as well. I myself tend to avoid such events but really enjoy the foods once every other year when I decide to brave the crowds. Also I would have chosen the peach pie with ice cream and the crab cakes 😋 looked so delicious

It is silly but it does start after school starts. The school schedule changed when I was in high school, it used to be right before school started. It opens at 11:00 on weekdays so I send the boys to school and then I pick them up and take them, we don't like to miss the fair! But, it is too busy on the weekend for me!

The flowers were Awesome and loved the big sunflower. Raining seeds with a good shake. I would go spinch bread and would have sliced candy apple. Here in Texas went around October have the great Texas fair. I would get a one candy apple and slice it so everyone got some and easier to eat. Is it because of all the sun that veggies get so huge. Starting my fall , winter containers garden. We might in January and February get a little cold . My son one year kept producing a banana peppers for almost 2 years. He bring container in at night if temp was dipping and back outside next day. He was so excited how long it grew. Great video mom's need break with friends once in awhile. . Have a blessed day.
