During the blistering hot month of July, some wondered just how bad it would be for the state fair in August! Turns out, the weather was some of the coolest seen in the recent decade. The featured chart presents the simple daily average high and low temperature for each state fair period back to 1880. Some of the years are blank due to there being no fair that year. Years above long term average are in red and below are blue. The cool weather certainly boosted attendance and made the week more bearable for the carny folk.
