It's no Indiana State Fair, but it's still a nice little showing of Williamson County! It's not all Audis, BMWs, and wanna-be indie kids who spend all their time at Starbucks.

There was an entire portion of the thing that was indoors and the seats that were inside were reserved for a company who had paid a fee. Where were we going to sit down and eat our fried Oreos and fried pickles and fried Baby Ruth and fried corndog and fried...you get the point. The midway was a little too safe and clean for a real fair. I never once felt like I'd turn my back and some carney would try to abduct my wife. It can't be authentic without being fearful of the "games o' chance" workers, can it? Anyway, it was only $6 to get in but I'd get there before 2 or you'll sit in traffic trying to get in the place. :) Margie and I went on Saturday and it was not what you’d expect from a fair really.
