Nice pics.
However, I'm always wondering why Americas still go to these fairs with average to shitty rides that cost a fortune per ride when your country is full of the most wonderful amusements parks in the world.

I use to go at such fair but because we don't have any decent park in my country. 

 As for me, I didn’t ride a single ride. I went for the other aspects of the fair, oriented towards farming and crafting. 
I think those are the main aspects and rides are just a bonus diversion, especially for kids and teens.
