My adventure with this year's fair and every other year was about half and half. I mean of couse the food is great, but the fair is not for everyone. You see, Mississippi is made up of mostly overweight people, so there for most of the people can't ride the rides, they can only eat and get bigger. I feel that if everyone can pay to get ...

Not all that it's hyped up to be
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/21/07
It's in a bad area. It's overpriced. Parking is overpriced. The rides look old and the tickets are overpriced.

The games are obviously rigged against the players, they don't even bother to hide it. ...

Good but cover your ears!

Except for the high cost of the rides, and the music on the rides hurting our ears, the carnival was nice. My son always likes to see how fast he can throw a baseball every year. That's why we go.

Come One, Come All..For the Young and Young at heart
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/04/05
Fair time.. We all love to hear those words in my family. It is a tradition that we have never missed. It marks the beginning of fall and a welcome to hopefully cooler weather. We usually go at night when the lights cast a magical spell on us all. While we enter the midway, the smell of the food takes over. We literally have visions of elephant ...

It is worth the trip from PA
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/04/06
I have come from PA to the fair for the past few years. I have enjoyed Southern hospitality every visit. The most difficult part was getting information regarding performers as early as I would have liked to.

FUN!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/19/07
I go to the fair every year! Even when I lived in AL I would come back home just for the fair. Im pregnant this year but I will be there for all the great food. I love the funnel cakes and chicken on a stick. I cant wait. I used to ride EVERYTHING! Atleast there are a few things I can still ride...I hope!

Great!

I go to the Mississippi State Fair every year, and it never lets me down! Candied apples, elephant ears, petting booths, bands, and rides of all kinds! Don't get on the Exstasy unless you have a stomach like a tank, I warn you! Definately worth going to again this year!

Traditional State Fair
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/06/04
Its just a country fair that you remember from when you were a kid, great rides, great food, animals/rodeo stuff, trade shows with art and food contests (like who makes the best pepper jelley in town :) Its great fun and reminds me of when I was a kid - I highly recommend going if you can.
