The annual revelry at the York Fairgrounds each September is the ultimate in backyard traveling. Yeah, it'll cost you $12 till you get in and park. And you can easily blow more than dozen bucks on food.

But seriously, where else can you see fire-eating midgets, listen to music made on trash bins and eat a fried PBJ? If that's not local culture for you, I don't know what is. I'm of the opinion that every York County resident should check it out at least once.

For more, see our York Fair blog or plan your visit according to the schedule of events. Hurry up though -- the fun ends Sunday!
