Went to the BMW RA rally. Nice fairgrounds. Need to turn on the hot water in the restrooms. 4 showers for about 500 people. Other than that was a nice place for a motorcycle rally. I did a specialty like the free zoo right across the street. Thanks to everyone who helped put on the rally.

We went for the fair food. Man, was it good! First off, there are only a few places to get adult drinks at the NWSF as they call it. That would be The Lienie Lodge and a couple of small vendors. One of which was in building D2 today. There are a ton of rides, which would have been great when we were in our teens up to thirties. Kids were there enjoying them a lot, which is great to see. The helicopter ride pullout must have been instructed to be a bit more daring, as the chopper was doing 360s, going up and down fast, zooming her and there. That's one ride I didn't feel like taking a chance on. So, on to the part about the food. You can get steak dinners for $15 and up, Domino pizza for $15 a while pizza. We got curds right away. Of course, you get about a half serving for $9 now. But they were tasty. We shared a gyro for $15, which was $10 the last time we went to the NWSF. It was packed very full and was very tasty. It was worth the price. Then, seeing as we were already pretty full, we got the for long corndog. It was very satisfying and possibly worth the $10 we paid. We went on a Friday before 3 pm, and there was available parking in the free lot beside the park. Additional parking in the fair and outside runs around $5 in 2025. There was not a much livestock as we're used to seeing at the NWSF. Poultry used to take up half a barn, but this year was down to less than 1/4 of a barn. There was pretty much 1 of each breed for the most part. Overall, it was a great time. The micro brew place was good, and the staff was courteous. There were a ton of vendors like John Deere, Willy's RV, and so many more! We had a very good time and hope the fair keeps going for a long time.

This was an excellent fair without the massive crowds! The food venders were fantastic so we went back another night! We also went to one of the bands and it was a perfect set up, great sound, easy in and out, just wonderful. We were super happy and hope to go back next year! I can't wait to go back and I hope there are good band choices again next year. We also thought the band tickets were reasonable which is amazing! All the employees were super nice. They also had plenty of bathrooms, portapottys etc.
