"For me, it's a food stop," said Steve Mertz. By noon, he'd eaten a sundae and a Bahama Mama and was planning to down a corn dog, elephant ear and fried buckeyes.
My family does seem to attract media attention at the fair. At this time 24 years ago, just days before I was born, my pregnant mom was shown on the local television station as she stopped for an elephant ear.
I haven't made it to the fair yet this year, but I plan to make time for fried food, cows and the Midway sometime before it commences next weekend. Hopefully, I'll even get to catch the finale show, Rascal Flatts in concert.

Fairs are a food stop for me too! I had to have a corn dog and a cheesecake on a stick dipped in chocolate at our latest fair visit.
What is a fried buckeye?
Well a buckeye is peanut butter dipped in chocolate that looks like a buckeye nut. (It's an Ohio thing.) And then they deep fry it. It's disgustingly rich.
