    Oh the goldfish game... Same, Jacob. Landed a ping pong ball in the itty bitty bowl and won that same goldfish at some church function. It was so inhumane. But I was three so what did I know? My father was horrified and spent the entire night keeping that goldfish alive. No winning a tank in those days. But that meant a fun trip to the local pet shop (what PetSmart? what PetCo?) and buying a tricked out tank, plants, and some cool places for the goldfish to hide.
    That goldfish lived seven years. I don't know if it lived any longer because it became the tank bully and we had to transfer it to a goldfish pond owned by a family friend. When your itty bitty sickly goldfish from the church bazaar grows up to be the villain, you did something right yet something very wrong.
    The pond is still there so for all I know, "Goldie" is still a dinosaur and terrorizing that pond. It's unlikely... I'm approaching middle age. But you never know. Maybe it's a fish Highlander. Maybe that's why Goldie kept trying to eliminate the tank's other occupants.

      goldfish are relatives of koi and can live nearly as long, and koi can be up to 100 years old. So it's not entirely impossible that Goldie might still be alive

    That scary blue doll with long arms and legs is a video game called Poppy PlayTime. The green pickle doll reminds me of a doll from the 80's Super Pickle. I think that thick piece of bacon is called Fatback. I use to eat that as a kid over at my grandmothers house in the 70s and 80s. I don't see it at the regular supermarkets anymore.

    So cool: In the Netherlands, we have a children's song for practicing memory about someone going to the butter market (ua-cam.com/video/tfHcjFJ3bAk/v-deo.html). Most people my age know that song but have never actually seen a butter market with people sculpting things out of butter. And now you show us that from the Delaware state fare!
    Those tractors servicing the parade are really old, but maintained and shiny as if brand new!
    Nothing more exciting than a professional hog race.
    These state fairs are often full of very nice little surprises from history.
    "Finally there is a skeleton somewhere in the darkness. And it is gonna stay there! "Fun!

There is so much to see and do, live music from National recording artists, lots of food, a lot of animals, and it’s a lot of fun! They usually have at least one traveling dark ride too, and they have a butter sculpture and a sand sculpture.

    Just so you don't get confused, Pennsylvania's state fair is actually in January and called the Pennsylvania Farm Show. It is an indoor event with no rides.
    The biggest summer fairs that you think of rides are York, Allentown, and Bloomsburg. York calls themselves a "State Fair", but us is not. Bloomsburg, while it does not typically get the attendance as the other two, is the largest fair in PA by area. That is the one you should come to.

    They have the butter cow and other butter sculptures.
    Huge fairgoers with turn of the century exposition style buildings. Has it's own campground as well.
    The fair haa been featured in motion pictures from many years ago.
    Big display buildings and big name entertainment with fireworks afterwards.
    An Ye Olde Mill ride that you might like.
    One of only a couple left in the US.
    Plenty of fair food. Some permanent restaurant buildings as well. So much to do and see at the Iowa State Fair.
    While there you might want to visit the big theme park-Adventureland in Altoona Iowa about half hour or so from the state fairgrounds. It would be worth your while to look into this.
    I don't think that you will be the least disappointed.
