I was there that year and really enjoyed the IL state fair. Thanks for posting. The atmosphere, food, vendors, rides. A lot of fun even for older folks like myself!! Thanks again!!

There is a DuQuoin state fair here in Illinois going on till the 5th of September. This is more southern Illinois so it's just country stuff but I like to go for the food 😋

Having never been to the fair I thank you very much for sharing this video. What I especially appreciate is that you showed the grounds and the buildings and the various areas available to the public. It's also funny to note that at 22:50 I saw that an old friend's band was playing on Friday night as the headliner! Small world

I agree with you on the buildings and the charm of the Illinois state fair.

You've done a great job on this video sir I haven't been to the State Fair since 1991 i really enjoyed your video.

A DINOSAUR park !! Thanks for the FUN tour.

Last time I went to the state fair, I was super young….I remember getting lost twice…Now about 20 years, I’m coming back

The rockstar ride is my favorite ride!

I liked the jet ski performance

I've only been to the Minnesota State Fair, where it's packed shoulder to shoulder with people. I didn't realize it's not like that in other states where not as many people attend.

5 state fairs is impressive

that spider and Hurricane is own by a fair compony called Fun Time Shows I know them two because they come to my fair in augests called the Campbell Missouri Peach Fair :D

David Foster Wallace brought me here.

10:49 pharaohs fury is a fun one

Thanks for documenting this! I haven't been in many years, but it's good to see it's about as lame as ever. The giant statue at 20:05 is supposed to be a young Abraham Lincoln in his rail splitting days, by the way.

Yes, you did on the Tilt a Whirl (NAME) is Indiana and Illinois.

We had a zipper last year

You have to do Kansas the other state fair that has an old mill ride

I used to live in Kansas City!

I have done Kansas an Minnesota's old mill rides. Unfortunately I did not do Iowa's.

These really are better

I wonder what the rides will be this year

You should flim at this time.

I wonder how come they did not have Fun Time Shows Rock-O-Plane at that state fair because they own two Rock-O-Planes as well

Are you coming to the Minnesota State Fair? It’s Aug 25th - Sept 5th

Unfortunately I am not, I have visited in the past and would like to return!

Tilt a whirl is such a sad version of what a Waltzer is in Europe.

I guess you know that Illinois is a 2 State Fair state.

Bro what are doing ?? You didn’t even show cobra

Don’t get on that red and yellow chair!!!

This was not a "full tour" of the Illinois state fair as you didn't go in or around the grandstand or go into conservation world and missed other sites and exhibits...I guess it gave some highlights it was o.k. overall.

So what is your state fair count??

Hello!

Wow the rides really stink this year. Our Illinois State Fair sucks. We don't have any big rollercoasters and not 1 single dark ride and of course the coolest looking ride, disko wasn't running.
