    • Lisa Kerr I have lived in WI for all of my life, and nothing can touch the WI State Fair...all of the great food, music, shows, and, best of all, those wonderful cream puffs...a better day cannot be found!! (expect to spend a good time in the expo building!!)

    • Kathy Rothermel I go to the Clark County Fair in Logandale, Nevada most years. It isn't big, but it's like a completely different world from Las Vegas. I enjoy the fair food, watching the local entertainment, and seeing the 4-H exhibits. The little goats are favorites. One started nibbling on my bag when I was petting another one. I avoid the carnival, not fun anymore.

    • Tammy Burroughs Bohnert My life-changing trip was the '83 Nat'l Youth Gathering in San Antonio where we all learned Terry Dittmer's song, "Brothers and Sisters in Christ" for the first time! 20 years later, while attending a Thrivent Conference in San Antonio, my good friend and fellow Thrivent Rep, Kendra Troncale and I were reminiscing and realized the last time we were both in San Antone was at that youth gathering. Kind of cool....two Lutheran events...20 years apart!
