    Shop around for kettle corn on the Avenue of States. Prices vary by a few bucks each way, and the flavors are dramatically different at each booth.

    Texas pulled pork baked potato between Connecticut house and New Hampshire House is the BEST! Way better than Maine baked potato!

    The maple cotton candy from the Massachusetts building has the best combination of maple flavor and fine texture.

    Baked Potato FTW. Maple cotton candy was interesting. Try all the food and then run 10 miles.

    Buy a wristband if you plan on riding any rides. You can buy individual tickets, but everything good costs around 5 tickets!

    Stay hydrated! You can find $1 bottles of water in many of the state buildings...don't pay the redonk $2.50-$3 many of the fair vendors charge.

    Go stuff your face with New England's best food. Go ride the rides until you puke & eat some more. Plus you can go pet a goat & see an 80's hair band.

    Don't get fooled by the ticket scam! 55 tix = $60. Wrist bands for 2 to ride all night = $56. Get the wristbands.
