When I was just a pup and lived in MO, I went to the State Fair every summer. The races were good, the shows were great, the midway--oo la la! Those corn dogs always did make me cringe, but the pineapple whip ice cream cones were "cool". If they still have them, I may have to fly on down to See-dale-ya!
