The Delaware State Fair is underway, and if you and your family plan to hit the midway, we want you to be armed with all the info you need to have maximum fun. Be sure to keep checking back for updates, full coverage, including ride inspection info, and plenty of photos from the fairgrounds.

For ticket info, check out Andre Lamar’s story here and see a photo gallery of Kingfish in action. I’ve been fortunate enough to see him live twice and he is amazing.
