"New places mean new discoveries or experiences."

Have you gone to your state's State Fair? I have. I went to the Michigan State Fair the summer of 2018. Let me tell you about it.

My family began preparing for our trip to the State Fair a few days before by running the ice machine to bring pop with us. A few days later, we were on the road toward the State Fair. It was blistering hot when we went.

When we arrived at the Michigan State Fair, we parked in a large, gravel parking lot a little ways outside the gates. The Michigan State Fair was colossal. We put the parking pass on the top of the dashboard. We opened the car doors, stepped out, walked towards the ticket stand, and entered the zigzag looking chute.

When we arrived at the State Fair, we handed in our tickets, we strapped on our wristbands, and entered doing any game or ride they said I could do. I did a gun one, $5 to play, and I had about $20. The sound was so earsplitting that I could barely handle it.
