A Fun Way to Save on Admission to the State Fair.

I enjoy attending our State Fair every year. One of my favorite exhibits to visit is in the Home and Family Arts Building. I love to stroll through the aisles of displays and see all the wonderful crafts and food exhibits so much I decided to submit my favorite cookies. Participating in our state fair has saved me money the past couple of years. For $30 you can register for the Home and Family Arts Open Class and each exhibitor will receive 6-one day passes with a paid entry fee. Normally, regular admission to our fair costs $8 per ticket. Since I receive the 6 tickets with my entry, basically the tickets cost $5 a piece and if I win an award then its even more of a discount. The first year I came in second and received an $8 prize making my total admission cost only $22 for six people. The 2nd year I came in 4th place on two entries winning a total of $12 and saving us $30 off the regular admission of six.

I hope you enjoy this tip. I have so much fun every year at the state fair. The year I submitted my first entry was a hoot! I would have never thought I would have won with so many other entries submitted. And to come in 2nd place with a cookie no one in my family would eat (it was a honey oatmeal cookie made with no sugar) had us laughing and anticipating what I would make for the next year.
