Bonus 1 - Ohio State Fair - Columbus - July 31, 2010

As you can see by the title, I'm considering the Ohio State Fair as a "bonus" and not as a festival. Basically this is because the fair is a different animal.

1. They're always a community celebration (general), as opposed to a specific town product, idea, or holiday.
2. They involve livestock (how many animal pics do you want to see?).
3. They always have an admission fee.
4. The food is typically more commercial and/or carnival-esque.

But I did have fun at the Ohio State Fair. Here are my experiences broken up into easy-to-read sections...
