They smell like a cake straight out of the oven that has been tossed in a huge bowl of confectioner sugar. They also have fresh corn dogs, sticky candy apples, and fluffy pink and blue cotton candy. The fair is definitely any junk food lover’s paradise. The perfect weather, electrifying rides, and scrumptious food are all part of what makes the fair such an exciting event. The fair is an essential part of welcoming in the fall season. Everyone should go at least once in a lifetime. Going to the fair will always be a part of my life, almost like another
