delaware has a state fair. i didn't go this year . . . but the exhibits are usually very good. they have a huge midway for the rides, concerts every night (this year they had paula deen). they have cooking contests, horse shows along with showing other farm animals and the exhibit halls are full of projects made by 4-H kids. i used to enter sewing projects when my girls were younger and at home, but have not entered anything of late. it is a nice, clean place to take the family and is always the last week in july.
