Is offering helicopter rides this year.
Ain't no way in hell I would do that for safety reasons alone.

This will allow the locals to perform aerial fly-bys instead of the usual drive-bys in a Nissan Altima with two donuts and no plates

I will never get into a helicopter that isn’t maintained and operated by the government.

Saw them at the Hammond air show a few weekends back. Lots of people doing rides. Don't know if it was the same company but they also had a Korean era helicopter giving rides. Pretty cool to see one that old. Even had MASH written on it.

I'm nervous getting on a tilt-a-whirl operated by one of those carnies.

I'd be more nervous about the unsupervised youths waiting/cutting in line for the tilt-a-whirl

A buddy has a band playing there one of the nights. I’ll ask for a review if he survives.

Have you ever noticed that it ALWAYS rains when the state fair comes.

Sun 26 - Thunderstorms

Then it becomes a nasty pit of mud

Not a real experience unless the pilot is wearing NODs and/or you kick up an opaque cloud of dust when you take off and land.

Did that there when I was about 9. Went straight up about 100' and came back down almost immediately. Dumbest $20 I saw my friend's mom spend but she seemed to buy the boys whatever they want, including the entire NES catalog.

I would never pay for something like that.
