That’s such a vivid memory, and it really paints a picture of how different times were! I love that your family made it an adventure either way — even packed lunches can feel festive when you’re surrounded by the sights and sounds of a fair.A different perspective on Fair food. It was a big deal when I was a kid to go to the Nebraska State Fair which was a 3 hr drive from where we lived. And my Dad agreed to splurge and have us eat lunch at one of the various dine in cafes on the fair grounds. He didn't feel well after eating and said in the future we would bring our own food. When we went to the local county fair, we only were there, 2-3 hrs, and were not allowed to indulge in any fair food.
