The cast and crew of The City That Breeds made its way to the Timonium Fair Grounds yesterday for the 10 billionth annual Maryland State Fair. Very little changes from fair to fair; the food is pretty great, the watermelons are still gigantic, the cows still smell, the rides are still way too expensive and the belt buckles all have confederate flags on them. So if you’ve got 8 bucks to spare and you want the opportunity to eat some deep fried oreos and see the world’s largest pig, this is the place for you!

The MD State Fair runs from August 27th until September 6th

Normally I go with a random pick for OPPOTW but this is just too good to not single out:
