"State fairs are eagerly anticipated summertime celebrations across the country, each offering its own dizzying array of sights, sounds, aromas (some pleasant, others a bit more subjective), and entertainment options ranging from high-flying midway thrills to the traditional livestock and farm equipment shows. The American State Fair brings the summer's most prominent happening to life with photography culled from the archives of several states renowned for the grand scale and cultural significance of their annual state fairs. Chapters are arranged by state fair staples such as the midway, food, livestock, bake-offs, crafts, freak shows, and more. The book focuses on state fairs from the Civil War through the 1950s. This was the heyday of the fair, a time period when it was one of the most important rural events of the year for a culture that was mostly agricultural. Over time, the fair evolved a bit, with the addition of electric lights opening the midway after dark. The fair also saw many new technologies introduced and showcased. Desptie this, the fair was and remains a bastion of old-fashioned ways, with the longstanding fixtures such as livestock auctions. Ferris wheels, and so much more bringing a rich sense of tradition to this timeless summer event. The American State Fair celebrates the event with more than 200 color and black and white photographs, illustrations, post cards, and poster art. A nostalgic look at one of America's favorite events, this book takes you on a timeless stroll down the midway, through the swine bar and over to the race track." - from the inner front jacket flap.
