What do you think The Fair will be like in 30 years?


Today Cy asked me what I think the Fair will be like when he is a grown-up. It is hard to imagine what will change and what will be the same. I assume that the core animal and agriculture purpose of The Fair will remain in place. I know I have been enjoying these Grange arrangements for 30 years and hope to for at least 30 more years. We speculated that maybe the products sold and the rides would be different because of all the advancements in technology. I know the Fair changes a little bit each year but it happens so gradually that it is now hard for me to say exactly what is different. The only big thing I remember is the one year when the Green Gate area was a Disney section. It was kind of like New Coke - short lived. Does anyone want to take a shot at predicting what the Fair will be like in the future?
