Rent an RV

A great way to explore a state and get to know its residents is by attending the state’s annual fair. This is where citizens will show off all the things that make their region great, and they’ll share with you all the best they have to offer! You may find suggestions for foods to try, or places nearby to visit, or get ideas for souvenirs and presents to bring home. Or...you may just meet some kind people, ready to chat with you about their hometown. Either way, you’re sure to leave with new ideas and perhaps even a friend or two. Don't miss out on the Arkansas State Fair.

ACTIVITIES & ENTERTAINMENT

Every fall, there’s plenty to do at the fair in Little Rock. In years past, there have been animals - from sea lions to goats, rides and roller coasters, produce displays, and tons of delicious fried...well, fried everything. There are magicians and music concerts and circus acts and bull riding, along with more staid activities like quilt displays and art and craft shows. You can try a Koolickle (that’s a Kool-aid marinated pickle, for you uninitiated), and vendors have been known to experiment with newer treats like fried pineapple rings. 

The fair also turns 82 this year, which should make for an exciting celebration.
