Thank you Nancy , It was so nice of you to bring us along! My husband and I couldn’t make it this year because we couldn’t leave our old poodle. Your upper Michigan friends❤️🐩
Loving the old style quilts and the fairy wagon! We have the Okefenokee Swamp down here in South Georgia. The turtle shell reminded me of the year I found a perfect small snake skeleton on one of the trails. Nancy, I've really been enjoying being at the fair with you guys. Joe being bad... torturing the turkeys! I always loved the rides at night... So vibrant! Thanks, Craig you are a great tour guide!
Iowa state fair with the VanderVeer family... you couldn't ask for a better time. Watching Craig in his happy place was so heartwarming. Craig, you did an excellent job winning the seal. I hope he has a great neck. The song you sang at the end was epic! Nancy, thank you for the excellent camera work. I couldn't have asked for better documentation of a fair. Beautiful vlog! ❤ Now that you shared your corndog with us, I'm craving that wonderful flavor and crunch that you can only get from a fair corndog. Thank you for sharing.😊
That tenderloin sandwich looked really good and super crunchy !! Such a huge variety of items to buy, so cool !! Some of the pictures were really nice !! I loved the stuffies , the mummy was definately my favorite !! Those had to have been the coolest puzzles i've ever seen !! I have to see if i can get something simular for my nephew and nieces. There are so many items i would like to try at a State fair. But i wouldn't have the stomach for it all !! Great and fun video !! ❤
We had so much fun seeing all the unique items! There are so many foods at the fair! I never get to try all the ones I want to because I get too full 😊
Looks like you guys had a great time. Thanks for bringing us along. We went out to lunch today and it just so happens there was an Applebee’s next door. Greyson said look mom that’s Craig’s favorite place to eat❤
Hi, Nancy! The Church Ladies at the church I used to go to made the most beautiful quilt I've ever seen. Each panel was a rendering of one of the church windows. They are priceless Tiffany windows. Anyway, it was so beautiful. The Church raffled it off at their annual gumbo dinner and the winner donated it back, so they drew another ticket, which wasn't mine. Phooey! I think the parish could have kept it on display for all to enjoy but they didn't ask me. Oh well, wish I had pics to share. I was too busy serving gumbo to think of that. Please share your handy work, when you get it done.
That quilt must have been very beautiful! What a beautiful thing for those ladies to use their talent to make it. Also.. gumbo sounds delicious! As long as it’s not too spicy 😊
I really enjoyed these three video's of the fair! I also truly appreciate the task you must take on to shoot and edit! Amazing, felt like I was there with you all!
If your ever in the Omaha area in the fall you need to go to Vals pumpkin patch, they have so many fun food options including those potato twist , turkey legs, apple pies,, etc.. and a ton of things to do !
Did Craig come up with the Iowa state fair song? That is clever! Thanks for showing all of those quilts! I did enjoy seeing them, and the ribbon one was very unique! You did an excellent job on this video! The entire fair series was so much fun! Thank you very much for sharing.
My grandma who passed away used to love to do quilts now my cousin does it but she used to do it from work all the past Work and stuff that goes into. It is amazing. Supposed to say patchwork sorry phone glitched, but it is amazing. I love looking at it so pretty.
Kinda sad the fair is over. Being from Iowa, this was fun!! I’m not moving too fast today. Woke up Wednesday not feeling well, and just thought it was a cold. I tested positive for Covid. I have no idea how I got it, but it’s no fun. Hope you’re doing well!!
I defiantly understand Craigs fear of the ride. I absolutely never will go on one of those things that they move from town to town on the back of a truck. They are not maintained as much as someone would hope.
Has any gone in 2024 are there's wristbands for carnival rides all day wristbands and what about gate admission I wanna go here in 2025 look super koooooools
Sorry, was supposed to say she does it from scratch. She does use an ass sewing machine but most of the stuff she hand stitches herself my grandma did.
Here is a neat idea I know it’s a lot of work but what if you took all the jokes I told you and put in a book and call it the Craig’s joke big book of jokes here a new joke for you there where two fish in a fish tank one looks at the other and says do you know how to drive this thing
Nancy is the Steven Spielberg of comforting and charming content. Loving the State Fair series.
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
That quilt done with ribbons from the fair is so unique!
I loved it!

You’re welcome! I actually wrote the song for Craig this time. He really loved singing it 😊
My grandma who passed away used to love to do quilts now my cousin does it but she used to do it from work all the past Work and stuff that goes into. It is amazing. Supposed to say patchwork sorry phone glitched, but it is amazing. I love looking at it so pretty.
I just had to look up if illinois had a state fair and its in Springfield, no wonder why ive never been to a state fair before lol, i live by chicago.
😊😊😊 I I would love to visit a state fair in another state ❤️
Kinda sad the fair is over. Being from Iowa, this was fun!! I’m not moving too fast today. Woke up Wednesday not feeling well, and just thought it was a cold. I tested positive for Covid. I have no idea how I got it, but it’s no fun. Hope you’re doing well!!
Oh no! I wish it lasted longer too! I hope you feel better soon! ❤️
I defiantly understand Craigs fear of the ride. I absolutely never will go on one of those things that they move from town to town on the back of a truck. They are not maintained as much as someone would hope.
It seemed safe enough but Craig had convinced himself that it was haunted 😂 it wasn’t scary at all.
Nice.
Thanks!😊
Has any gone in 2024 are there's wristbands for carnival rides all day wristbands and what about gate admission I wanna go here in 2025 look super koooooools
Poor turkeys.i feel just awful for them❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What should we name this one craig? I was waiting for Joe to say the dinner line
😂😂😂😂😂
Sorry, was supposed to say she does it from scratch. She does use an ass sewing machine but most of the stuff she hand stitches herself my grandma did.
That is an amazing talent! I love hand sewn quilts ❤️
Nice closeup of u nancy at 34:..ur so pretty.a d ur a fantastic mother.wife.and movie maker❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks so much Pam 😊😊😊
Imagine all those wet stuffed animals that get handed out for prizes....YUCK
They don’t hand out the ones hanging for display
they keep them dry under the tent!
Here is a neat idea I know it’s a lot of work but what if you took all the jokes I told you and put in a book and call it the Craig’s joke big book of jokes here a new joke for you there where two fish in a fish tank one looks at the other and says do you know how to drive this thing
That’s a great idea!!
