If you're looking for a great fly-in destination, it's hard to beat
the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines.

Yer darn right, Jay, and we'd be attending again this year if the
commute from Oregon weren't so long. A lovely fairground, packed with
genuine hometown entertainment and great food...and folks so nice, the
fair's website offers free ringtones!

I'm also told the controllers at DSM are very cordial and pleasant to GA
flyers, and of course if you grew up at an uncontrolled airport there's
always room on the ramp at Ankeny. Heck, I'd offer rides if I hadn't
moved away this summer.

Enjoy a corn dog for me, dear.

Oh, my God -- I didn't mention the corn dogs!

These are the most amazing things -- NOTHING like those abominations
you can buy for your kids in the freezer section!

They dip the corn dogs in thick batter right in front of you, and drop
them in the hot grease. A minute later, you've got the most amazingly
delectable meal -- a hot dog on a stick!

You wouldn't believe how fantastic one is, right out of the oil. Like
a fresh donut, but corn bready... Absolutely a must-have at the
fair...

First time I went to the Fair was in the 1920's (well before most on
this group were born). Lots of good hard working people went in those
days. More bib overalls than suits.
