## Resource

When the Great American State Fair hit the National Mall, expectations were high — all 50 states were supposed to shine. But reality? Some states crushed it with interactive exhibits, giveaways, and even life-sized cows for milking practice. Michigan handed out snacks and spun prize wheels, Wisconsin dazzled with cheese-themed selfies and hype. Alaska? Just wallpaper and a table — a baffling letdown for visitors who drove hours. With no official explanation from the governor’s office and minimal effort from the travel industry, Alaska’s absence stung — especially since it’s a state with so much to offer. And it wasn’t alone: at least ten other states barely showed up, some citing politics, others? Still a mystery.
