But we didn't even "go through" all of it, at best we hit maybe 50-60 percent of the stuff that was there during one day. We didn't even touch the midway, for instance. There are also lots of changing, daily State Fair events: radio stations will have live bands performing at their booths at various times during the day, there are the nightly concerts at the Grandstand, etc. so even if you did go past every single booth/exhibit/demonstration, you'd still miss things. We saw a dog obedience show, sheep shearers, a giant dancing robot, people doing stupid things with motorcycles, a dance competition, people demonstrating how to spin yarn, etc. A couple of years ago they had a full veterinary surgical team set up in a glass booth and the vets would operate on dogs and cats and people could watch.
