Eat cream puffs, fly down the Giant Slide, say hi to cute farm animals and take a dizzying spin on the giant, colorful swinging contraption at the Wisconsin State Fair (640 S. 84th St. West Allis), Aug. 3-13 this year. And be sure to try some of the Sporkies winners while you’re there – they’re super weird, delicious foods you won’t find anywhere else.
The State Fair isn’t the only festival this summer. Stop by one of these four, too.
