## Caption

After 30 minutes of absorbing the childlike whimsy in the air, we found the “fairlift.” If there’s one attraction for every fairgoer, this is it. For a mere $10, you could take a 20-minuteish ride above everything at the fairground. It was there that we learned we hadn’t even scratched the surface of everything going on.

From an aerial view, we saw seals posing for photos, petting zoos and vendors of all kinds. If you looked hard enough, you could find State Farm representatives giving out free customized bobbleheads with a picture of your face. And parents, if all of that sounds too much, don’t worry because I spotted a michelada booth with your name on it.

Check out the link in our bio to see what you should know before heading out to the fair in Salem.
