It’s a natural renewable resource. I guess pollution made by manufacturing synthetics it better.

My wife and I live in Hutchinson, KS , home of the Kansas State Fair. We appreciate your v-log of our Fair and the promotion of Ye Old Mill! You are one of the best content creators on KZbin.

[@trekty]

The Old Mill ride at the Kansas State Fair is not for the faint of heart! Thank you for taking the time to showcase so much of the fair like the arts & crafts and the animals/crops, so often those seem to be overlooked by other vloggers in favor of the midway.

[@Yogi8156]

Oh come on man it's not that bad

[@alyssabrown9233]

The crocheted red white and blue eagle costume was made by me! It’s so awesome that you showed it in your video and I’m so glad you liked it! ❤🎉🎉

[@TheCarpetbagger]

It was amazing!

[@alexr6185]

Thank you for visiting my city I’m glad you had a great time at the state fair ❤❤

[@gr8scott198]

Around these parts, we call that little blue and red chain-sawed bird a, Jayhawk. Thank you, number one Bagger of great memories and education.

[@geoffreyivie]

The dirty brown water, rickety boat, and darkness are more scary than the animatronics on that dark ride. 😨🏚

[@alliekuma4234]

I love that you and Adam both hit a landmark at the same time involving the number 30. You hit your 30th state fair and Adam has watched the Rays in all 30 baseball stadiums. Congrats to you! Also, that dark ride was super impressive, especially since it's over 100 years old. : O

[@LSGT5]

This was fun to watch thanks for going on the dark ride!

[@williamjanssen2550]

It is a Jay Hawk. Thanks for this. I grew up in Kansas, was born a couple of blocks from the Fair Grounds. Haven't been back in 35 years. Lovely memories.

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

That ride was great! The ride had the guests scaring eachother🤗 I love state fairs. Looking at all the odd things people do with their time is fascinating.🤗❤️🐝

[@sdoes]

4:40 "no-good pignut" sounds like an insult Roald dahl would have written lol

[@fossilsue]

Thanks for taking us along.

[@PlatinumRoseLady]

It looked like you had a great time, Carpetbagger! Your joy shone through so much in this video!

[@panda72418]

Carpetbagger, you really should try and go to the Hutchison Salt Mine or STRATACA, which you saw their table at the fair. It is a great roadside attraction that deserves a visit and episode

[@beckwells25]

Tour guide at Strataca here- we'd LOVE to have y'all!

[@sapphire56695]

Kansas native here. That chainsaw sculpture you asked about is a Jayhawk. Ye Old Mill is my favorite thing at the fair. They repaint the front and change it up every year,

[@matthewkleihege781]

Jacob you should go to a Renaissance Fair for one of your videos! They are basically just medieval carnivals, you would really like it!

[@mjowers11]

I have watched almost every single one of your videos and I am from Kansas and always went to this fair since I was little! I’m in college so I haven’t been able to go in 4 years so this was awesome for me!! Thank you for making your videos I watch everyday!!!

[@hardyboy100]

Dang! Jacob comes through my neck of the woods and I missed him!

[@octok3510]

Same! Hope he tries out the Cosmosphere and Strataca sometime!

[@Ms_Meerkat]

I love our state fair, welcome to Kansas!!!

[@lizlocher3612]

This would have been SUPER CREEPY back in 1915, n it STILL rings with creepiness today!!! What a cool find, Carpetbagger!!!

[@quitos713]

That clown art piece at 4:34 was Emmett Kelly, he was a world famous clown from Sedan, Kansas.

[@beckwells25]

To my knowledge, in the early 1900s it was actually a tunnel of love type of ride, the scary aspect is a semi-recent (70s-forward, I believe) change

[@hardyboy100]

Jacob! Hit up the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson. Smithsonian affiliate space museum in the middle of nowhere Kansas.

[@limestudios7734]

Hutch ain’t middle of nowhere 😂

Kansas remains important to the aeronautical engineering field. NASA still actively works with many companies in the area.

[@paulfuryes203]

Great video, Jacob. Love that dark ride. Keep them coming, take care, my friend, and as always safe travels.

[@angelfeatherz3247]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for showing the Kansas State Fair Wheat Weavings!! I was hoping you would see and record them. I have been wheat weaving for many years and I LOVED seeing the Kansas straw art. Really appreciate you including this in your video!

[@nurseydebdeb8539]

So happy you came to my home state fair!!!!!! I know I kept messaging you to come and check it out and especially our 100+ year old gem Ye Old Mill!! I had a feeling you would!! Don't worry I scream my head off every time too lol. Thank you for doing an expert job showing our fair on you tube. I even saw a super lady that new my folks that was sitting at the door in the state fair museum. I hope you make it back and go thru Strataca and the Kansas Cosmophere, then head to Wichita and check out our great zoo the Sedgwick County Zoo, and much more. See Kansas was pretty cool after all. Safe travels

That has to be the best dark ride I’ve ever seen on the channel!🖤

[@lesliegriffith9830]

Great video! You completed your 30th state fair and Adam the Woo completed his 30th and final MLB stadium. Great timing for both of you!

Sheer-Terror Bagger is the best Bagger of all. Tell JP that we said hey..

I never thought I would see you truly scared on a dark ride. It is one of a kind. lol. Thanks again for a great visit. Bev GB 🇬🇧

Good Afternoon Jacob 🙋🏽.

[@JeffinBville]

I like going to county fairs and I go for the crafts and vegetables and animals so thanks for showing those at every fair. People work really hard to submit something to the Fair and their efforts should be recognized.

[@stifledvoice]

Thanks for the delightful daily dose of Carpetbagger content, served fresh and sprinkled with a little frosting of wit and warmth.

[@DJH-mq6cb]

Want to thank you for all the hard work you do! In a world filled with chaos, I truly find joy watching your videos! Please continue to bring joy!!!

[@erikgriffith8857]

I've mentioned Strataca in Hutchinson twice in the comment section of your videos. It's in Hutchinson and definitely worth a visit.

[@tanyaraya2095]

Pronounced Strat-a-ca

[@beckwells25]

Highly recommend Strataca. Wonderful museum, super cool tour guides... (they say, brandishing a Strataca tour guide badge)

[@mindyhoeh4466]

YES best dark ride ever!

[@kennethgustavison1812]

The Brockabrella was invented by baseball player Lou Brock in the late 70s - early 80s. HANDS FREE umbrella. 30 state fairs visited! It's cool that they have a train. Ye Old Mill looks good enough to be in a permanent park. Thanks for taking us there!

[@BobPelot-v9x]

Should have known someone else knew what that hat was and who invented it. Mr Brock was a great baseball player. I miss the days when he and other greats shared the fields instead of the spoiled whining millionaires of today

[@carolplummer7182]

My mom was born I Hutchinson and it is the Jay hawks

[@veemonjosh]

Jacob, please come to The Big E this year. The New England states dont have our own individual state fairs, we all share one known as the Eastern States Exposition, or "The Big E". It runs September 13-29 in West Springfield, Massachusetts. You'd be checking off 6 states all at once by going!

[@kansashortcake]

Glad you enjoyed it!!! 🌻

[@kristenwoods8472]

Kansas is full of surprises! That was hilarious watching you be so scared at our little fair 🎉

[@lissachocolate]

Ye Old Mill was fun! Good fair. Loved the little train, and the sky ride. Enjoy seeing the animals and competition winners. Yay butter sculpture!

[@hpotter29]

Love the whole video but thank you most for showing the pig races! I don't know why, but racing pigs are always crazy fun to watch. There's no reason why they should be really, but they tickle my funny bone every single time.

[@ineedmoney299]

I love the fair. It what I look forward at the end of my year. Taking the e button photograph every year. Great video

[@DawnBenchley-gt6hu]

Great fair, Jacob!!!

[@zig_zagman]

I'm sure at least 3 out of 5 of your fellow fair attendees would have known what the mascot was called, you just have to ask them. Butter sculpture is always fun! That crossing guard from the train ride brought back memories from when I was a kid 45 years ago... You said "crappy"!😂 Cool dark ride. My favorite part of any fair is the live animals, including if there's a pig race! Wasn't that four horned ram a Jacob sheep?

[@erikgriffith8857]

I think that scarecrow with the guitar was supposed to be "Haylor" Swift.

[@dolfanatic314]

Of course, Kangaroos have a special diet, and they only eat hops.

[@drummerrjrj]

You did my state fair good my man. Had a great time watching you relay many awesome things I also saw. Kudos to your journey and thank you for sharing this. It's missing so many things that I personally would want to idealize in immortality, but this is your gig lol. Thank you again for this one. Can't wait to share it with my wife who couldn't go, cause she's sick..

[@bangsmccoy3924]

thank you Jacob! I am not able to make it to the KSF this year. that mascot is the Kansas University Jayhawk! "Seems like some real cowboy stuff" is now my favorite CB quote.

[@angelsantana9mm]

The cows made from butter reminded me of that episode from icarly when Spencer sculpted that piece of toast 😂😂

[@francescar9845]

I was thinking the same thing too 😆

[@keySkullghost]

The Oz figures should be in the old mill 😮

[@beckwells25]

They've always been that horrifying... always...

[@erikgriffith8857]

You should visit the Eisenhower Library and Museum in Abilene, Kansas. There's also a great local history museum there with a carousel and a Greyhound Hall of Fame where you can pet greyhounds.

[@Mr.GabrielAngelGoldenBurton6]

Great video!!

[@zinabchahine4817]

We've gone every year since I was a kid. I had to take a break from the mill for a few years because my daughter was too scared to ride it. This year we both finally got to do it! The pure darkness in there is sooo eerie.

[@alliematelski1767]

I've been getting those pig show kids video's suggested to me also😂

If you come to the Oklahoma State Fair, remember it's in Oklahoma City starting tomorrow 😅 Tulsa's doesn't start until later in September. Also don't forget that Frontier City has Frightfest starting this Saturday!

[@bradleyrose5112]

You'll have to return to Hutchinson sometime because you missed attractions that have worldwide connections. Strataca (which you saw the booth for) is an underground salt mine with a vault that houses the original negatives from Ben Hur and Gone with the Wind. The Cosmosphere is a space museum that houses the capsule from Apollo 13.

[@kendrawalker6762]

I live in hutchinson! It is so awesome you got to visit! The Ye Old Mill is a classic! They update it every year!

[@cassandrapeterson7966]

How to entice Jacob, there's a dark ride

[@beckwells25]

There's a train as well! Rickety old beast, that train, but well worth a visit. I'd also highly recommend the Salt Safari and the new Lantern Walking Tour. Yes, I'm a walking Strataca billboard, no I will not stop anytime soon.

[@tyanawicker6998]

My hometown ☺️ kinda cool seeing this

[@jennifersherman7945]

It's called cowboy mounted shooting, where you ride a pattern and shoot a real gun but filled with blanks. It's a timed competition and a lot of fun. You need a lot of practice and a steady horse for it. I need to know when you're gonna hit the Arkansas state fair. If I know the day, I'll come ride the Ferris wheel with you. LOL. Love your videos, my best to you and Jen.
