The final week of 2015 seems like the perfect time to recap some of my favorite adventures of the year. One of these adventures was the Ohio State Fair. I went while I was nursing a stress fracture. Nothing puts your love of fried food to the test quite like a stress fracture. I realized I might love fried buckeyes a little too much because I was willing to hobble around the Ohio State Fair in one of those Stormtrooper looking boots they put you in when you’ve got a broken foot - FOR FOUR HOURS - all for a fried buckeye. I exaggerate a bit, there was a lot more to see and do at the fair that I went for: baby pigs, butter cows, Smokey the Bear, a petting zoo, corn dogs, bison, the list goes on and on. One of my favorite features of the fair, and where I spent a big part of my day, is the Natural Resources Park. Here you will find a prairie, butterflies, fishing, archery (for real!), lots of info on the Ohio State Parks, and much more. Definitely plan a stroll through next year if you’ve never stopped. You’ll learn a lot about the state, and feel like you’re a million miles away from the midway. The Fair also brings in a variety of bands and artists each year, and there are usually at least one or two decent acts. While I didn’t attend any of the concerts this year, I saw the Beach Boys there two years ago, and it was obviously amazing. John Stamos joined on the drums. I’m still not ready to talk about it. Rides, animals, Ohio history, crafts, food, drink, games, and much more are all found at the Ohio State Fair. Keep it in mind next summer if you’re looking for something different to do!
