Trump's Tacky State Fair Grinds to a Soggy Halt

President Donald Trump’s “Great American State Fair,” celebrating the nation’s 250th birthday, came to a soggy pause Friday evening as rain forced organizers to shut down the festivities.

The fair appeared lightly attended Friday, just three days into the 16-day festival, even as Trump touted the size of the crowds during his opening-night rally.

Visitors formed modest lines for what appeared to be the event’s marquee attraction—a Ferris wheel—before bad weather moved in and sent attendees looking for shelter.

“If you got out there early today, chances are you had a great time. You got to see the great, all-American state fair,” said Fox News correspondent Kevin Corke. “But if you planned to slide in there tonight, after 5 o’clock: too late, too bad. Mother Nature put you right back in your car.”
