I don't post to this blog very often anymore -- my life now revolves around business -- but I still love travel. And I'm writing a travel book for National Geographic's 100 Most Enriching Vacations series.
You can help by pointing me in the right direction.
Today's question: What's the best state fair? If you have a favorite (or just a beloved one), post a comment here to tell me about it and why you love it. It could end up in the book!


I love the Minnesota State Fair because I grew up going there almost every year. I lived in the Twin Cities, so the State Fair was the most charmingly provincial activity I ever did. I loved riding on a square of carpet down the big yellow slide, eating mini-donuts, seeing horse shows in the Coliseum, checking out the year's largest pumpkins, etc.
