Alaska doesn't have counties. It has boroughs instead. So the best I can do is provide a few photos from a state fair held in the Matanuska Valley an hour's drive east of Anchorage in the mid-'90s. Here they are:

Would you recommend them
How were there Seems like a trend: to put absolutely whatever in the deep fryer and see what happens. Remember them doing that with Twinkies Oct 17, 2022 19:46:54 #

I got to experience the truck pull competition at this year's Columbiana County fair - totally cool with noise and black smoke spewing from the trucks! The last shot is of the afternoon sun shining through all the exhaust and dust pollution - the EPA would NOT be amused! 
I saw tractor, modified tractor, turbo tractor, and big rig pulls for the first time. Really something. Especially appreciated the oldies from as far back as 1930s - some restored and some "original". I think my motor/tractor/rig savy grandson was getting a bit tired of all my questions!

I've heard they are delicious. My grandson ate quite a few! The green apple fries are my favs.

A bit of a throw back here - 2015 and the first year my grandson and I submitted photos for judging. And some cow pix.We spend a lot of time going through the endless animal barns.
She may live up to her name tag.
4H handler - I'm thinking this cow is holding several gallons!
Show prep...

Oh, he enjoyed his! We each had an order of five of the things - I finished mine but the novelty wore off at #3. Now, a deep fried Snickers bar might be different but I have to go back to Scotland for one of those!
