Yep, the fair is a pretty big deal back here. We have the county fair which isn't as big as it was when I was a kid (or at least it doesn't seem to be to me) and the Iowa State Fair, which is supposedly the largest event in the state each year. I've never been to the state fair, despite having lived in Des Moines for 11 years, and I guess the last time I went to the county fair was over 15 yrs ago.
