| - Arizona State Fair traffic wasn't that bad. I went at around 7:00PM with my friends and were able to find parking at the actual fair. Parking at the fair is $10. General admission tickets are usually $10, but we got in for free. There was a tent outside of the fair that asked us to help by signing a UNITY pledge and as a result, we also received free tickets. (Their tent sign was called One Community) I didn't spend as much money as I thought I would, but the price of everything (food, rides, games) was expected.
We bought lemonade ($6), turkey leg ($13), Indian fry bread (with powdered sugar, honey, and strawberry syrup/jelly), a burger ($8), garlic fries, and corn in a cup ($5). The food, overall, was satisfying!
Lemonade- Bought it from Janine's Fresh Squeezed lemonade stand and it tasted like water and sugar. I asked the girl who made my drink to add more lemon and it was a little better, but I don't think it was mixed well; maybe try getting it at a different lemon stand.
Turkey leg- The turkey leg wasn't dry at all. It was the last couple of years, but this year, it was juicy and moist; recommend!
Indian fry bread- Extra crispy and the strawberry syrup/jelly made it so good; recommend!
Burger- A little dry, not that special; don't get it!
Garlic fries- Not too much garlic, very crispy, and a lot of flavor; recommend!
Corn in a cup- Very good; corn stayed hot. I added mayo, lemon juice, hot sauce, chili pepper, and grated cheese; recommend!
**Corn tip: pour out the excess water before adding your ingredients, so it doesn't get all watery. The ingredients also mix/taste better without the extra water, but be careful when pouring it out. I spilled the excess water onto my hands, and it was very hot.
The games and rides were fun. I went yesterday (10/27/16) and on Wednesdays, rides and games were $2 each. They have cute Minecraft creature prizes this year (not sure if they had it previous years). We won a pig one, but it was dirty. The people who worked there were so nice to let us trade for a cleaner one.
