You won't believe what's coming to the State Fair
Look, here's the deal— every year around this time, we start hearing about the Arizona State Fair. It's a tradition, right? Going back generations, out there at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum, where the Suns used to play before they got the purple palace downtown. But this year, mijo, they're bringing something new, something that makes you scratch your head and say, "Sólo en Phoenix." They're talking about all the usual stuff — the fried food, the rides that spin you until you don't know which way is up, the concerts. But what caught my eye, what I gotta tell you about, is this new "Bacon-Wrapped Pickle."
<h3>The Fair Just Got Weirder</h3>
Now, I'm a man who appreciates a good Sonoran hot dog, wrapped in bacon, from a cart on 35th Avenue. It's a work of art. But a *pickle* wrapped in bacon? It's like they're trying to see how far they can push it. We've had deep-fried everything – Oreos, butter, even Coke. But this is a whole new level of "carnival food innovation." The fair kicks off September 20th, and I guarantee you'll see people lining up for this thing, just to say they tried it. That's the Valley, baby — 115 degrees and we're still out here, trying bacon-wrapped pickles.
* **When:** The Arizona State Fair runs from September 20th. * **Where:** Veterans Memorial Coliseum, right off 19th Avenue and McDowell. * **What to expect:** Beyond the pickle, there are new rides, plenty of other wild food creations, and the usual concerts.
For folks living in South Phoenix, or anywhere really, it’s a chance to get out, cool off a bit in the evening, and make some memories before the real heat of summer tries to make a comeback. It's a reminder that even when things are tough, we still find joy, and sometimes that joy comes in the form of a ridiculous, bacon-wrapped pickle.
That’s the Valley, baby — 115 degrees and we’re still out here.
