What August event are you most looking forward to?

Last week, we asked you what event you were most looking forward to this month. Far and away the most popular answer, with 69% of the votes, was the Kentucky State Fair.
Like many of you, I’m really looking forward to the State Fair. You may have heard me ask what you’re exhibiting at the fair this year (and I still want to hear from you), but I also want to know what you’re most looking forward to at the fair. The food, the animals, the music? Let me know.
