Entry #6. The State Fair.
Since it's that time of the year again, let's talk about the Arizona State Fair! It comes once a year and stays for only a month. A little bit of background is that it began at the fairgrounds (Veterans Memorial Coliseum) in 1905. Ever since then, residents from all over the state have come together every year to enjoy the diverse communities, and have family fun at such a unique environment. Not only does the fair offer many opportunities of amusement but it also brings a sense of unity to our society as a state. Let's face it, when we think of the fair we think of the rides, games, the concerts, the exhibits, and of course, the FOOD! Who doesn't love the fair?! Although it can get a little crowded and pricey, I'd say that it is definitely worth it. Each minute that you spend there will not be wasted only because there are SO many options for you to choose from when it comes to food, rides, or games (57 rides and attractions to be exact) to keep you entertained.
