You came. You rode. You ate. You played. You watched the rodeo.

Now one last thing before we officially say goodbye to the 2026 Fair…

We want the good, the not so good and the “please bring this back next year.” 😂😏

Until next year! 🎡❤️

🎈🇺🇸 If you’ve strolled into Gold Hall this week, you couldn’t miss the one-woman inflatable Americana installation. (And if you haven’t, well … sadly today’s your LAST CHANCE).

Take a tour of the ag-inspired red, white and blue wonderland with Poppin' Penelope herself.

She’s worked overtime to bring the intricate scenes to life, all the way down to the clouds suspended from the Gold Hall ceiling.

While there’s no substitute for seeing it in person, watch to learn what happens to ALL those balloons as the fair ends.

HINT: Gold Hall. Saturday. 7 p.m.
