Other animal attractions at the fair include canine acrobats, a famous sheepdog and livestock shows. Another favorite for de La Garza was the Budweiser's Oktoberfest activity center, an attraction popular for its atmosphere and beer-brewing lessons. A young visitor to the fair feeds a goat. Some of the other animals on display are kangaroos, cows, sheep and chickens. Besides the many rides and animals the fair has to offer, the State Fair also serves as an educational tool.
Regular tickets cover most of the shows and attractions.
Food, rides and drinks are purchased with coupons, in 50-cent increments. It lasted me 10 minutes. Bumblis said the amount of money she would have to spend would be the only drawback in attending again. The fair runs through Oct. 22, and is open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., with some exceptions on museum hours.
