participate in the State Fair every year, regardless of age, but for some this is their way of life. Waking up early in the morning to feed their animals, fitting them for the next show, waiting for your chance to show off how great your animal is, no matter what the judge says, and then shaking the hand of the judge when they select your animal for Grand/Reserve Champion. This may be short lived for some, but people like me who show at fairs and point shows, and then later go on to the State Fair have learned
and I recently visited the State Fair of Texas. It is the biggest Fair in Texas that comes to Dallas every fall. I haven’t been since I was very young. The State Fair has so much to do and see. And one of the biggest attractions is the food that they offer. It is especially known for the famous fletcher corndogs! The first thing we did was found big Tex. Big Tex is a great known history of the state fair. He wears a size 70 boots
Texas State Report You take a deep breath as you smell the sweet fluffy cotton candy...where are you? You open your eyes and you see children laughing on a Ferris wheel, and a big sign that says “Welcome to Texas’ State Fair!” You know many surprises are waiting ahead. Suddenly you see a broken sign about a past event on September 1900 something tragic happened. Some important people had died in that very sad tragic event. You feel bad and bump into a man saying welcome to the Lone Star State
Kelechi Ukpabi Core 3 Memoir Assignment The Time When I went to the State Fair The State Fair is an exciting place to spend your money and have fun. You can go on rides, play games, and eat all sorts of food. One thing about the State Fair is that it gets crowded quick, so people try and go on the first day it comes out or to go during the week so less people are there. The lines to play games, go on rides, and to buy food are backed up at night because of how many people try and do these things
blog. However, my slothful ways have caught up to me and I need to complete this blog that’s become a few weeks overdue for the Minnesota State Fair. Although, I enjoyed my time at the Minnesota State Fair, although being worn down and tired of hordes of people, I decided not to travel to the Renaissance Fair the following day. However, The Minnesota State Fair was delightful and was able to partake in the music, the culture, and the delicious food. Although my dental regimen was not on par for the
I watched 1945 version of the State Fair. If I can take the meaning of a song they sing then the movie takes place in the state of Iowa. The movie starts at the Frake’s family farm. The farm looks like a typically for of a middle-class family. The house is beautifully furnished. I did not see any hint of the year but it takes place during the last weeks of August because the billboard has the fair beginning on August 23rd. Other than the house, the fairground is the only other location in the
climate change issues, music, art, leadership, tours, and so much more intriguing activities, but there is one idea that lacks in most of these events and opportunities, the display of Alaska’s culture, diversity, and rich history. At the Alaska State Fair, an idea for a new event would be a way to show the three aspects
Target Audience The population of people living in and around the Oklahoma State Fair Grounds is the target audience and was chosen because there is a teaching opportunity in the community since the Oklahoma State Fair was occurring. The Oklahoma State Fair is known for its outrageous unhealthy food and obese people of the community are seen here every year. The community surrounding the fairgrounds live in housing that ages from 1920’s to the 1970’s. The motivation of this group to become healthier
Minnesota State Fair is the second largest state fair in total attendance next to the Texas State Fair. Personally I have attended the wonderful Minnesota State Fair for 5 years now. Minnesota is a great place to live, because there are 4 seasons in a year, has the Minnesota State Fair and has winter activities. The Minnesota Fair has several attractions such as food, rides and entertainment. First I'm going to talk about the food. One of the most popular foods at the State Fair are the cheese
“democracy” is that it really is not a democracy. Instead, people vote for other people who then vote for someone else who becomes their ruler. This system seems incredibly dependent of where one resides, for the most “electoral” votes are awarded to the states with the densest populations. Even more strangely, these “votes” may potentially be equally divided, and thus still another group of people that were voted for then make
The case of the Indiana state fair was a clear example of what happens when an organization does not have a crisis management team, plan, strategy, or crisis organizational learning experiences. As we observed, so many individuals from separate departments did not effectively communicate with one another. It sort of reminds me of the whole Titanic disaster, only smaller in nature. Where there were so many signs, and opportunities to prevent the crises from effecting them directly. Unfortunately
The day was August 16, 2015. About 6:00 pm. My cousin and I were on our way to the state fair in Sedalia. We were both so excited because we had never taken a road trip just the two of us. We had about a 2 hour drive ahead of us. That gave us enough time to catch up on our latest gossip and rock out to our favorite songs. As we pull into the gravel parking lot, the smell of farm animals and carnival food hit us. Our excitement grew. Walking into the gates I was greeted with the familiar smell of
As enriching as the fair is for me, helping me to grow in my faith and sociability, it is also where I make most of my income for the year, as I do not hold a steady job during the school year. So, when the dates for the fair and for ASP clashed during my sophomore summer, I had a difficult decision to make. Would I choose to support my empty bank account for the next year by working at the fair, or would I choose to help those with no bank account at all
The 1893 World’s Fair A World’s Fair is an “[I]nternational exposition that features exhibits dealing with commerce, industry, and science.” (World Book Encyclopedia 412) Entertainment is also present along with cultural activities. In 1893, the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, although inaugurated a year late, commemorated the discovery of America. I feel that the Exposition displayed some of the more beautiful architecture of its time; its immense buildings and sculptures drew heavily
as to use the contrast between appearance and reality as the basis for the plot of the story. In Act one, Scene one, one of the most famous quotes in all of literature is spoken: “Fair is foul, and foul is fair/ Hover through the fog and filth air.” While if interpreted literally, it makes no sense because the words fair and foul are antonyms, the reader (or viewer if the play is being seen) must recognize that this really implies that the appearance of something may not be the actuality. In Act one
distributive justice. We are a developing nation when it comes to our philosophies, but I am optimistic that with additional ethical participation by citizens in the area of public policy, Americas (like King and Rawls) can still dream of achieving a fair and just society.

(Drury 807). “The first Montgomery County Agricultural Fair was held in Dayton at Swaynie’s Hotel on East First Street October 17th and 18th, 1839” (Drury 807). 1853, the state fair was held on Washington Street, the same year the county fair was held there (Drury 807) then in 1874, “the Southern Ohio Fair Association began having fairs on the Montgomery County Fairgrounds for fifteen years” (Drury 808). This set the stepping stone for many fairs in the years in counting. When individuals see the Montgomery
Creative Commons - America Needs Fair Use Licenses It’s likely happened to you before, you turn on your radio, or favorite music video network and begin listening to a song by some hot new pop starlet, hip-hop superstar, or aging rocker. The beat is catchy, inviting, and oddly familiar, almost too familiar in fact. You may think, “Didn’t David Bowie, or, hmm, wasn’t it that guy from Queen that played this riff in like ten years ago? Who is this Vanilla Ice guy and why is he rapping over it
Is Affirmative Action Fair? A black student has been waiting for that letter of acceptance from the college of her choice. She receives that letter and gets in. At the same time a female white student is also waiting for her letter of acceptance from that same college. The white student receives a rejection letter even though she had higher test scores and a better GPA than the black student. Was this fair to the students? Was it the best outcome for the country in the long run? Many minority
Fair Play in the NBA: A Modest Proposal As surprising as it may be to those who are not themselves fans of the National Basketball Association, Anglo-Americans are vastly outnumbered by other ethnicities. In fact, African-Americans hold a majority of positions, command higher average salaries, and receive more attention for their accomplishments in the media. Although there are a number of Anglo-Americans employed by the NBA, few ever manage to obtain equality in the field. For example, the position
