State fair 'mega pass' on sale through Wednesday (http://www.sj-r.com/breaking/x2068981338/State-fair-mega-pass-on-sale-through-Wednesday)


Looking for the perfect stocking stuffer? The Illinois State Fair“mega pass” is on sale for $50.

The pass is good for all 10 days of the state fair, plus preview night.

The $50 price is a $15 savings. The Illinois Department of Agriculture is offering the 2011 pass at the reduced rate through Wednesday. The passes can be purchased through the fair’s website or by calling 782-0775.

The 2011 Illinois State Fair will be held Aug. 12-21.

They used to just sell these things when the fair started. Walk up and buy your ticket. A few years ago they went a couple of weeks out before the start of the fair advertising these on sale.

But now they are shilling them 6 months before the fair?
Is this a new way to balance the current account budgets in the Dept of Ag? (Dept of Ag runs the Ill State Fair.)

I am surprised that they are not also hocking the mega pass to the carnival rides too.

I’ve never been the Illinois State Fair, but I can’t imagine wanting to attend any State Fair for 10 days in a row. To each their own.
That being said, if they can make some extra $ selling the “super pass” at Christmas time why not?
