Don’t panic. The fair has a bag check station near the main gate for a small fee. For about five dollars, you can leave your oversized purse in a secure locker or a tent. They hold your bag, you enjoy the fair, and you pick it up on your way out.
Just be prepared to wait in a short line during peak hours (like 6 PM on a Saturday). It’s a backup plan, but not a bad one. Honestly, it’s a good excuse to lighten your load and feel like a free-range human for a few hours.
And if you’re still reading this, you’re already ahead of the crowd. You are the zen master of fair planning. Now go forth and conquer that spicy corn on the cob.
