That was my high school marching band drumline!! I absolutely love the fair. Glad you were able to go and see what the Delaware State Fair has to offer
Jacob, in September/october the Big E is in Springfield Mass. This is the state fair for all the New England states. We all share this fair since the states are so small. Then you can knock 5 states off your list for one visit.
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
I saw someone else mention the Minnesota State Fair as a recommendation and I'm seconding it! Also - amazing carnival footage. You really know how to capture an atmosphere, Jacob! 🎡
Come to The Big E in West Springfield Mass.! It's a HUUUUGE multi state fair for all of New England. Sept. 16th through Oct. 2nd. I'll be there on the 16th to see the Dropkick Murphys! You might need more than one day to see and do it all!
Definitely recommend checking out the Big E in Springfield, MA- it’s the 5th largest fair in the USA and represents all the states in New England. It’s from Sept. 16- Oct 2 this year- lots of fun!
Check out the Michigan State Fair in Novi Mi. I think it's the first week of Sept. Wife also suggested The Big E in New England which I guess is like a multi state mega fair.
Very cool fair and rides 💖 Also the sky in the background was very eerie and foreboding but cool with the rainbow piercing through 🌈 the bacon treat looked delicious 😍 thanks Jacob and best wishes ☀️
Thank you for showing us these great fairs! Consider checking out the Bloomsburg Fair, Bloomsburg, PA, end of September. You may also enjoy the Pennsylvania Farm show in Harrisburg, PA each January. Keep up the great content.
I think that you would enjoy the Minnesota state fair. (The last bit of August through Labor Day) They have butter sculptures that are busts carved out of giant blocks of butter. Also a haunted house and a bunch more great things.
It was cool to see you visit my state. You missed the animal barns, the handmade goods winning ribbons, the concerts, the derby etc. but glad you saw the pig races😁
I knew you were close by but I didn’t think you’d make it to the fair. Welcome and I hope Delaware treated you well. Would’ve loved to meet you, maybe next time
Cool tour of the state Fair. Spaghetti Eddies I think is a franchise, that used to have a $5 deal for Spaghetti and sauce, garlic bread and a salad bowl. The guy on the Ostrich could be from the video game Joust.
I highly recommend the New York State Fair at the end of August, it’s the biggest state fair after the Texas State Fair. 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.
You really need to check out the Minnesota State Fair. As far as land size, it is actually larger than the TX state fair. Comparing attendance, it is almost equivalent to Texas State Fair which runs twice as long as Minnesota's fair. The Great MN Get together Thursday 8/25 - Monday 9/5
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.
The good thing about your fair journeys is that you still have a lot of good State Fairs to go to. I need to get to the Florida state fair and the Delaware state fair you have a particular advantage over me
So cool: In the Netherlands, we have a children's song for practicing memory about someone going to the butter market (th-cam.com/video/tfHcjFJ3bAk/w-d-xo.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! Thank you Carpetbagger!
You should to the York, PA Fair which is billed as " The Oldest Continually Operating Fair in the United States". It used to held in Sept , but the last two years has been moved to the end of July so you will have to go to it next year. It is quite the fair with lots of Mennonite food stand under the grandstand. Great ham and cheese sandwiches and ice cream waffles for desert.
I know you were just in Oregon, but from August 19-28 in Boise, ID as our Western Idaho Fair. Complete with concerts that are free with admission; (this year we have Pat Benatar, Chris Jansen, Billy Currington, Stone Temple Pilots, & Ja Rule & Ashanti), magic shows, hypnotists, and lots of other exciting events. $5-$8 admission. Really worth checking out. And yes carnival included!
I remember riding the zipper years ago ...YEARS AGO that thing left bruises across the tops of my legs..omg the pain..never again. Maybe its gotten better over the years
When you were feeding the animals, and saw the larger llamas I was thinking "remember the camel". Llamas do spit thought. That a sweet that girl who wanted say hello to your vlog. Thank you for sharing the state fairs. They are always so unique. Bacon wrapped bacon sounded interesting. Did they have bacon ice cream or bacon shake? Even many of the county fairs are cool as well. But if you can visit to most of the state fairs will be an achievement and I look forward to the visual experience. Thank you again for sharing. Look forward to the next one. Keep safe!
Hey Carpetbagger great video I live in Kansas and the Kansas State Fair is September 9 thru 18 I hope you can catch it and can see you there,stay safe my friend 👍😁
OMG It's Real! I had no idea that was a real competition. 4:06 Butter is one of my favorite movies, and I cannot believe it's happening at the DE State fair. 😂 Fantastic! Thanks for sharing, Carpetbagger!
I have to try the corn dog wrapped in bacon 🥓 😋. That sounds good. You and Jen should go to the NYS Fair at the end of August outside of Syracuse. I don't know if you can get a hotel 🤔 though.
If you have a chance to go to state fair in September, go to the Minnesota State Fair. They have the BEST cookies that you can get a bucket full of them at Sweet Martha's Cookie Jar. Have fun Jake!
Indiana State Fair is coming up. It’s always in August. I don’t know if ours is as much of a carnival style. It’s 4-H so it’s more about the projects and a lot of livestock. We also have marching bands that compete.
The Big E in West Springfield Massachusetts is a great fair to check out and the largest fair in the North East. They have a big top Circus and an old arena built in 1923. Must do’s and eats are to visits all the state houses of New England with food from every state. Must try the famous cream puff,frozen apple ciders and the large Maine Baked potato with Cabot cheese and sour cream . Iconic eats of every state. The Budweiser Clydesdales. Lots of great things to check out.
This was so wonderful to see this fair. My homestate is Iowa and the Iowa State Fair will start next week with a big kick off parade in downtown Des Moines Iowa on 8/9 and the fair will start the next day. 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.
I happen to live in an area in pa where you get the Lancaster and Harrisburg radio stations and the Philadelphia and Wilmington de radio stations so you get to here the ads for both the fairs
Must eat at the diary barn when you go to the Indiana state fair it has the best grilled cheese sandwich and frozen shakes . I definitely recommend you try the new One this year wich is a chocolate frozen yogurt shake topped with girl scout thin mint cookie crumbs ( similar constancy to a Wendy’s frosty but better)
@The Carpetbagger Just wanted to say if you ever get the chance to do the Ohio State Fair... They always have Huge.... Like life size Butter Sculptures. Also 1 of this years (2022) actually broke a record of some sort...
Fun Fair! Hope you get a chance to try the IL State Fair! BIG!!! Historical. Butter Cow! Dive Show! Sky Glider! LumberJacks! RT 66!! Giant Slide! Historic Main Gate is best way in for Camera! Great Carnival. Horse Shows! Milk A Cow! You get the picture!
Please do the Crisfield, MD, Annual "Crab Derby" its lasts all week in the beginning of August. It has skip jack racing, 🦀 crab racing, parades, beauty pageants, crab cooking contests, crab picking contests, and LOTS of seafood! It was also featured on Jay leno as one of the strangest pagents ( little miss & Mrs crustacean) crab 🦀 races, crab picking contest, and crab 🦀 cook offs! There's live music, dancing, carnival games and rides. There is also a huge seafood cookout, where if you want, you pay 35$ and you get to eat all the crabs, oysters, among other food, all you can eat! (Plus free 🍺 🍻) 😄 Crisfield, MD is considered the "Crab capital" of the world! 🌎
Was at the Ohio state fair yesterday passing out free narcan. Waaaaaay too many people. It was absolutely insane. Didn’t even get to see the butter cow. I got stepped on, elbowed, shoved, etc. never seen the fair so busy. I tried to watch the pig racing but there were literally probably 1000 people gathered around and I couldn’t see anything whatsoever
Not sure how far ahead you plan your trips but you should come to Spartanburg for Spring Fling next year., or maybe showcase Folkmoot in your hometown.
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.

The Minnesota State Fair is one of the best! Good reporting.
My hubby and I never miss watching you!! We sure enjoy your adventures!! Stay safe!!
THAT'S MY HOME FAIR!!! I am so glad you went there!!!
That was my high school marching band drumline!! I absolutely love the fair. Glad you were able to go and see what the Delaware State Fair has to offer
That's really cool.
Thank you going to the Delaware State Fair!! I moved away from Delaware a few years back and haven't been able to make it to the fair!!!
“Good to see the gospel of Cheerwine being spread.” And all of the North Carolinians said, “Amen.” 😂
I had Cheerwine Before it’s actually pretty good.
Jacob, in September/october the Big E is in Springfield Mass. This is the state fair for all the New England states. We all share this fair since the states are so small. Then you can knock 5 states off your list for one visit.
The best youtuber out there

Check out the Michigan State Fair in Novi Mi. I think it's the first week of Sept. Wife also suggested The Big E in New England which I guess is like a multi state mega fair.
Very cool fair and rides 💖 Also the sky in the background was very eerie and foreboding but cool with the rainbow piercing through 🌈 the bacon treat looked delicious 😍 thanks Jacob and best wishes ☀️
Thanks for visiting my state! I would recommend the Maryland Renaissance Festival that opens August 27th and stays open for nine weekends!
I will repeat,😊 You have too much fun ! Great video Jacob
Man! Can’t believe I missed you. If you’re ever around again during the fair, let me know. I’ve got the insider hookup there. On site every day!
Glad you went on haunted dark ride because today is the start of spooky season! 90 days til Halloween !! 🎃💀👻
I remember the butter sculptures at our state fair. It has also been several years since I've been there.
Colorado State Fair please do a fan meetup!
Here in New England the fair here is called The Big E of the Eastern States Exposition is held in Sept 16 to oct 2 2022

This was a great video I enjoyed it very much, thank you. I agree that the sky was very scary!
Awesome Work Bro, Thanks 👍👍👍😎 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸
My family and I used to go to this every year. I saw Mr. Mister in July 1986.One of my favorite fairs🥳🎢🎠🎡🚂
Fun video. Glad you stayed to see the rides all lit up! I think I would had picked the bacon-wrapped corn dog :)
I think that you would enjoy the Minnesota state fair. (The last bit of August through Labor Day) They have butter sculptures that are busts carved out of giant blocks of butter. Also a haunted house and a bunch more great things.
You're the man with the master plan Jacob the carpetbagger the best TH-camr I know you're awesome.
It was cool to see you visit my state. You missed the animal barns, the handmade goods winning ribbons, the concerts, the derby etc. but glad you saw the pig races😁
You should come do the Oregon state fair next year! Oh and the Clark County Fair too!
I knew you were close by but I didn’t think you’d make it to the fair. Welcome and I hope Delaware treated you well. Would’ve loved to meet you, maybe next time
Cool tour of the state Fair. Spaghetti Eddies I think is a franchise, that used to have a $5 deal for Spaghetti and sauce, garlic bread and a salad bowl. The guy on the Ostrich could be from the video game Joust.
You were literally two blocks from my house. I usually watch the fireworks from my front yard. 👍🏻

That bacon on a stick looked delicious! Try the Eastern States Exposition in Mass if you can!
Missouri State Fair has always been lit; you should come visit us in Sedelia, MO!
The Alaska State Fair is the best fair I've ever been to.. August 22 to Sept. 2... It's awesome..

Hey Jacob , about the Jamaican banana . I have one title " Cool Runnings ! "🤓💖

Be careful, llamas will spit on you
@@suemoo22 They love doing that and seeing the surprised and disgusted expressions of their victims

The Zipper!!! Our county fair had it every year. As kids, we would dare each other to ride it. It looks as chaotic as I remember!😝
Love your channel Carpetbagger ❤

Thanks Jacob 👍🏻🇬🇧
Allentown fair in PA is the 2nd week of September and is worth looking into
The Big E in West Springfield Massachusetts is a great fair to check out and the largest fair in the North East. They have a big top Circus and an old arena built in 1923. Must do’s and eats are to visits all the state houses of New England with food from every state. Must try the famous cream puff,frozen apple ciders and the large Maine Baked potato with Cabot cheese and sour cream . Iconic eats of every state. The Budweiser Clydesdales. Lots of great things to check out.
I miss going to this fair. I used to go to it every year when I was little.
This was so wonderful to see this fair.
My homestate is Iowa and the Iowa State Fair will start next week with a big kick off parade in downtown Des Moines Iowa on 8/9 and the fair will start the next day.
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.
You gotta go to 'Frightland' in Delaware during Halloween time. They have AMAZING attractions!!!
I love Harrington Fair, worked for Strate Shows 30 years ago won alot of money after midway closed.
I happen to live in an area in pa where you get the Lancaster and Harrisburg radio stations and the Philadelphia and Wilmington de radio stations so you get to here the ads for both the fairs
Thank you awesome video
Ostrich talks amazing
I hope I can see you at the ky state fair this year! If you check out any of the artwork inside I'll have a few things put in!
Must eat at the diary barn when you go to the Indiana state fair it has the best grilled cheese sandwich and frozen shakes . I definitely recommend you try the new
One this year wich is a chocolate frozen yogurt shake topped with girl scout thin mint cookie crumbs ( similar constancy to a Wendy’s frosty but better)
"I got bit by a camel once and it was really terrifying " memories.
I live near here and have went here every year of my life
@The Carpetbagger
Just wanted to say if you ever get the chance to do the Ohio State Fair... They always have Huge.... Like life size Butter Sculptures.
Also 1 of this years (2022) actually broke a record of some sort...
Fun Fair! Hope you get a chance to try the IL State Fair! BIG!!! Historical. Butter Cow! Dive Show! Sky Glider! LumberJacks! RT 66!! Giant Slide! Historic Main Gate is best way in for Camera! Great Carnival. Horse Shows! Milk A Cow! You get the picture!
Please do the Crisfield, MD, Annual "Crab Derby" its lasts all week in the beginning of August. It has skip jack racing, 🦀 crab racing, parades, beauty pageants, crab cooking contests, crab picking contests, and LOTS of seafood!
It was also featured on Jay leno as one of the strangest pagents ( little miss & Mrs crustacean) crab 🦀 races, crab picking contest, and crab 🦀 cook offs! There's live music, dancing, carnival games and rides. There is also a huge seafood cookout, where if you want, you pay 35$ and you get to eat all the crabs, oysters, among other food, all you can eat! (Plus free 🍺 🍻) 😄
Crisfield, MD is considered the "Crab capital" of the world! 🌎
Was at the Ohio state fair yesterday passing out free narcan. Waaaaaay too many people. It was absolutely insane. Didn’t even get to see the butter cow. I got stepped on, elbowed, shoved, etc. never seen the fair so busy. I tried to watch the pig racing but there were literally probably 1000 people gathered around and I couldn’t see anything whatsoever
Not sure how far ahead you plan your trips but you should come to Spartanburg for Spring Fling next year., or maybe showcase Folkmoot in your hometown.
The Middlesex county fair is on now in New Jersey from August 1 to August 7
Have you bitten anyone once? “I’ve got bitten by a camel once”😂😂 I laughed so hard that was a great video!
