My Grandma lived about a block and a half from the State Fairgrounds in West Allis and many years our family would visit with her during the Fair. It was always great fun with lots of fun and delicious food, spectacular exhibits and a great fireworks show.

It holds very fond memories for me and this article rekindled them. Thanks, Archae!

You know, the whole 4H thing.

Haven't been there in years, and now when I look at that food, I think I probably won't ever go there again to eat. That stuff looked a lot better 40 years ago when I was 16...

The pulled pork sandwich looks good. Everything else is either "no thanks" or "fuck you, get that shit away from me."
