Labor Day 2026

 Monday, September 7, 2026

Okay, so we didn't make it this year. 

We had every intention of going yesterday but it was just so nasty humid and the crowds have been INSANE this year. 

That said I'll share some photos of some crop art I found on social media. 

                  

There was a lot of art related to the surge from ICE this past year. 

I'm reading that people were waiting in line for two hours to see this stuff. 

That's what we encountered last year so we skipped it. 
It's all displayed on one of the walls in the Horticulture building. It's a big wall but it's in a room that's not that huge. 

They need a bigger space.

State Fair 2025 - Fine Arts Building

Friday, August 29, 2025



Some of my favorite works from the Fine Arts Building. 

















State Fair 2025 - Great Big Wheel

 Friday, August 29, 2025

On the way over to the Fine Arts Building we stopped by the Ferris wheel.

I don't really ever have a desire to ride it as it takes too long to load. 

I do think it looks fantastic in the dark. The lights are beautiful. 

And I do a pretty good job of framing it when I photograph it.

Stopped by the Blue Moon Dine-In Theater again. This time for dessert. 

This time they were showing old Lucy Show episodes.
