Each year, the Illinois State Fair features different countries from around the world and is a definite must eat featuring Romanian, Jamaican, Indian and many others. And along with the great food, they had some great entertainment as well. The Colgate Country Showdown competition took place there for a chance to be the next big country star and a chance for $100,000 – wow!

The Tennessee State Fair closed its final year at the Tennessee Fairgrounds with record- breaking numbers and perfect fair weather. Over 61,000 people attended the Fair on the last Saturday setting a single-night record for the fair’s 155-year history. Attendance overall was up 18% from 2008 and 19% over last year. Most of the fairgoers were a bit disappointed that this was going to be last year at the fairgrounds and signed a petition to keep the Fair alive along with its traditions.

The Fair was full of fun contests such as the Ice Cream Eating, Soccer Juggling, Hula Hoop, Egg Toss, Pedometer Challenge and more. The annual Karaoke Showdown was a must see as well. Third place finisher and winner of $150 was one of our very own, Mega Drop ride operator, Jeff...
