The biggest mistake of the 250 shindig [View all]

is not truly replicating a country fair. I always went for the rides, games, and food, then I'd see the animals, stage acts, and finally some exhibitions. And a lot of other people came just for the stage acts, sulky racing, and demolition derby type stuff.

The booths are pretty cool, but a ferris wheel does not a carnival make.
