Ohio State Fair
Where: Columbus
When: Late July to early August
This particular state fair is worth going to for the food alone! In past years, they served deep-fried tofu, pork butt tots, and the Extremely Ohio buckeye funnel cake! But it doesn’t stop there: You can get some deep-fried mac ‘n’ cheese in ball form or On A Stick.
Another vendor has taken gummy worms, molded them into small burger patties, deep-fried them, obviously, and they serve them with Fruity Pebble cereal topping.
And move over Iowa! We know they’re very well known for their Butter Cow. But Ohio also has a fantastic one. It also has a Butter Furby and a Butter Apollo 11 Crew. The Ohio State Fair also features professional pogo stick athletes. So this is definitely a state fair where you won’t be bored!
