Goddamn I love me some fiddle! #illinoisstatefairstr

The Ethnic Village (aka village of cultures) always has some of the best food around the fairgrounds. They also have a cheat code when it comes to beer value. Get any of the Paulaner beers for 1 beer ticket, and you get a 16 oz. can as opposed to 12oz. anywhere else for the same price…. A free 4 ounces!😂. We got the fried perogis …. I’d give them a 7/10 #illinoisstatefairstr #foodstr #beerstr

It’s time for the 2025 Illinois State Fair!! In spite of the near zero attention my poor reporting garnered last year, I’m back! Even better, I have “hired” a correspondent to assist me in posting all the goings ons around the fairgrounds. Please help me in welcoming @Royal Hagness to the team! We are what’s known as “fair rats, so we will try to provide pics and opinions on all the music, food and fun happening over the course of the state fair. Thank you for your attention to this matter. #illinoisstatefairstr
