Nevada State Fair

A place for the white trash and under age kids to hang out. And the heckling is way out of control!!!

WARNING TO ALL POSSIBLE FUTURE DAILY FAIR CONTESTANTS– the Creative Living portion of the Fair is in desperate need of arbitrary, professional judges with experience beyond the same-​old Betty Crocker recipe book. If you bake very mainstream, well inside-​the-​box desserts, you will place well. If you have any sense of creativity or dare to create your own desserts, don’t bother entering these contests. Tonight I asked the judge in the «Best use of Chocolate in a Dessert» contest if she would provide feedback for my dessert. She said it was «too sweet and I don’t like sweets.» Am I the only one that finds irony in a chocolate dessert contest judged by someone who doesn’t like sweets? Is this the best judge the Fair could come up with? I tasted the competition and the judges didn’t recognize a Duncan Hines cake mix. Hey, Nevada State Fair, wake up and clean your house!

If you take out the local crack heads and local creeps, I love the state fair! The Carney’s are interesting to talk too for a short period of time, given they are not hitting on you with missing teeth and mullets, and you can binge on corn dogs, cotton candy, funnel cakes and not feel guilty. The Jack Daniels tent can be fun too. Also a quick mention, cheers to the cowboys with tight pants, its rare when men wear tighter clothes then women. .. . Thank you Cowboy, Thank you

Reasons to go to the fair:
1) A superb selection of total junk food. I very much enjoyed my dinner of corn dog, funnel cake, licorice rope, and mini-​donuts.
2) Several excellent contraptions to help you barf up all the junk food so that you don’t have to count all those empty calories.
3) Crazy arts and crafts displays.
4) Browsing the livestock and judging which animal looks the most tasty.
5) Karaōke so bad it’s good.
6) Fascinating cultural events like the 4×4 truck pulls, the demolition derby, and the wiener dog races.
Reasons NOT to go to the fair:
1) Scary carnies.
2) Ill-​behaved teenagers.
3) The price of ride tickets. $ 5 to ride the ferris wheel? No thanks.
4) Dirty, dirty, dirty.
If you do decide to visit the fair this year, make sure and get your tickets at Scolari’s and save a whole bunch of money.
