Yesterday, we drove through intermittent rain to Springfield, Illinois, and went to the Illinois State Fair for the first time. I've always wanted to go and figured we'd have done so way before now since we're both retired and have been these last six years.
Best of all, it was senior day and we got in for free and paid $7 to park. The concerts were also free.
We found the fair really confusing with stuff all over the place and lots of walking. Plenty of food though, including at least four places selling the famous Cozy Dogs, but these stands were not part of the Waldmire family. Two were the Coleman's.
The rain fell a little, but then held off for the concerts. We saw the band we'd seen yesterday in Johnsburg, New Odyssey who kicked off the show and the 3,000 or so folks there really had a good time. I'd say they made a few converts.
The main act was the Million Dollar Quartet who are playing at a theater in Chicago. This show recreates the session at Sun Studio in Memphis back in the 50s when Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis got together. Great show as well.
Went to Capital City and the Curve Inn on the way back to the motel.

OK, since you were recently at a fair, I'll ask you if my fair theory is correct.
Is it possible to take any food - ANY food - put the word "fried" in front of it, and put the words "on a stick" after it?
Some weird kind of food, that anything fried onna stick.
