Think of all movies or TV shows with scenes at the County Fair, usually at night, with lots of bright lights, crowds, games, cotton candy and someone always trying to win a stuffed animal for their sweetheart. Before Ipods and Ipads, TVs, Imax Theatres, PCs, Laptops, cell phones and Angry Birds, Americans would flock to their County Fair to enjoy the midway, rides, races, contests, agricultural competitions and rodeos. County Fairs are the quintessential American pastime.
