Any midwest probies going to the Iowa State Fair?

[katfco]

I know this is a stretch, but I figured I'd check anyway. DH's family is in Des Moines, so we're going to be there during the state fair, which is a huge deal (at least according to them). I know we don't have any probies living in Iowa, but I thought I'd check to see if anyone was going.

Anyone?

I guess I'm out of luck, but bumping this up just in case.

We are about 2 1/2 hours away. It is a huge deal! The best state fair in the country, according to Martha! (I have no idea of the truth in this, so please don't come yell at me that other states' fairs are better, lol)

Every year I say I want to go, mostly for the food. Then the week comes and it is 95 degrees and I remember I don't really like fried food that much and it just seems like a lot of WORK to get there. So, I've never been.

But I just said to my husband last week "Oh, maybe we should go to the Iowa State Fair this year!" when I saw a billboard, lol.

I'll let you know if we end up going - it will be a game-time decision.

Definitely let me know! DH's family lives less than a mile away, so when we're there during fair time we always spend at least one day there. I know it's a pretty awesome fair, although I like to make fun of my H and his family because they seem to think Iowa is pretty much the best place on earth.

Iowa is pretty awesome. I tried to con DH into moving there a while back, but he needs to be near an ocean... boo!
