The #1 Reason Illinoisans Actually Go To State Fairs
While fairs are known for their exciting attractions and fun rides, Illinoisans seem to flock to fairs for more than just the thrill.
When I was in middle school, I remember going to Young At Heart Festival in Rockford and I never, ever rode any of the rides. My eyes, and stomach, have always been set on the overpriced food - specifically giant corndogs.
I took it to Facebook and asked if people of Illinois go to fairs for the rides, games, or food and majority of people had the same idea.
The #1 Reason Illinoisans Actually Go To State Fairs
Majority ruled that FOOD was the #1 reason people actually visit fairs when they come to town. Yup, sounds about right!
Funnel cakes, giant elephant ears, lemon shake ups, and cotton candy - YUM!

Honestly, I've always been pretty skeptical of fair rides. Plus, I have seen one too many videos of rides breaking down and people flying off the attractions.
Nope, no thanks. I'd like to keep my life!
