The state fair brings back lots of memories of my childhood. The fair grounds haven't changed since then and could really use a revamp. For one, they don't allow outside food and drinks, but they don't have many drinking fountains or much access to water. That's so important in the middle of summer in our arid climate. The marching band competition is always fun, but not held in a space large enough for a crowd of for the band to even fit on stage! No wonder the urban crowd doesn't go down to Pueblo for the fair, it's not worth their time or money to make the trip. Sad, because the kids and adults competing have some great projects and livestock that are worth seeing.
