100 Things to See or Do at the State Fair - Scavenger Hunt & Free Download!

Last weekend we took part in a fun family tradition - attending the opening weekend of our state fair!  We were so excited for Gv to have her first fair experience and hoped it would be a day she and her cousins would enjoy.  This year, we decided to add another level of fun into the mix with a "State Fair Scavenger Hunt."  We had a blast searching for everything on the list and capturing photos of as many items as we could:
#31 - Strangest Homemade Clothing Item:  Dress made out of dryer sheets!

 The girls even created matching "I Love Pig Racing" shirts to wear for item #42:
#42 - See the Pig Race

While I'm sure some of the items on this list are unique to our particular state fair, I decided to create this free download for you so you could add some extra fun to your fair experience as well.  Just click here to download it and print it out!

You could even turn this scavenger hunt into a competition!  We were originally going to compete against the rest of our family, but Gv's cousins decided it would be more fun to all search for the items as one big group. However you decide to conduct your hunt, make it full of silliness and take lots of pictures to remember the day:
#48 - Photo in a Head-Cut-Out Board

 I know our state fair kicks off the season for the rest of the country, so here's to a great year of fried food, crazy rides, smelly animals and fun games when yours rolls around!  
 
#43 - Eat a Corn Dog

Oh, and our score was 69.  See if you can beat it "hunting" with your family and friends!  I'd love to hear all about your day, either by leaving a comment here or emailing me at lisahealy (at) outlook (dot) com.
#56 - Silliest Goat

Oh what a fun idea. Unfortunately we are a long way away from that time of year here. We are currently stuck in a deep freeze.
Love to try and do this though.
I hopped over from Angie's and Kris's link to say HI!

Thanks for stopping by, dirtdiva! What time of year does your area hold its state fair? I'd love to hear about your scavenger hunt, if you try it!

Just edited my profile, I never realized I was signed in like that. LOL
I live in Canada so we really don't have State Fairs per say. However we do have fairs in usually every community. These start happening in June and last until September sometime.
If I decide to do it, I will definitely share it with you!!
Have a great day!!

I love to go to the State Fair every year. I go specifically for the food, which always makes me sick because I can't eat fried food. So, I just go and eat whatever I want, knowing I will be sick the next day. It's well worth it. I also like to look at the animals and art stuff. Ours isn't until Labor Day week. Thanks for linking up to Merry Monday Linky Party.

It's been interesting to hear all the different times of year that state fairs are held! I feel like conducting a poll (or at least looking it up on the internet) to see when they're all held around the country. Sorry you get sick from fair food, but for that one time a year, I'd agree that it's totally worth it! Thanks for stopping by to say hi!

This is perfect for me right now. Although it is not our state fair we have a pretty big county fair as far as county fairs go. (did that make any sense?) Anyway, to make some extra money I am working in the Wok n Roll Chinese food booth. They are from Florida and I am pretty sure they are at the Florida State Fair. I am printing this out. Thanks so much! It looks like you had a good time.

Oh, I'm sure you could totally use this scavenger hunt for your county fair, too, Michelle! I'm so glad you read this at the right time and I'd love to hear how many things you discover at your fair, if you have a chance to stop back by and let me know! Have a great week!
