Aaah, the smell of deep fried chocolate bars, popcorn, candied apples, and cotton candy. You've just entered the Capital Ex fairgrounds and temptation is all around you! Here are few tips to make your visit to the event a fun one!- Protect yourself from the sun- wear protective clothing and sunscreen- take a tube in your bag, and make sure to step inside every so often to cool yourself down
- Drink plenty of water- pack a small aluminum thermos- you can find really cool ones these days, and keep yourself hydrated
- Make sure you eat a good breakfast, a decent lunch, and try to resist filling up on all those sweets! Grab a steaming hot corn on the cob as a snack to keep your body going to enjoy all those rides and exhibits
- Pace yourself. Take time to stop and rest while you are walking around the grounds. It's okay to take a break
- Don't eat sweets and get on those rides immediately - I've seen the results of that- not pretty!
- Wear comfortable shoes- no flip flops. Try something with some arch support, and tie your shoelaces- you don't want something catching on a ride!
- If you are going to listen to some of the bands, consider a pair of earplugs to dim the sound slightly- protecting your eardrums from permanent damage. All the sound engineers wear them!
- Be prepared for wasps and other biting insects- especially near garbage cans- carry some soothing bite/itch medication or an epipen if needed.
- Most of all enjoy yourself at this fun event
Cheers,
Larry

You have provided some excellent advice! It's a shame that neither the promotional material for this event nor the local media remind us of these points.
Keep u the good work.
