Thank you to everyone who celebrated the 139th Arizona State Fair with us. It was a memorable year full of a whirlwind<\/span> of experiences including thrilling rides, delectable treats, and unforgettable moments that made the 2023 Arizona State Fair timeless.<\/span><\/p>\n

During our amazing 23-day run, over <\/span>200,000 plush toys<\/b> were proudly taken home by Fairgoers while you guys devoured our tantalizing <\/span>Turkey Legs <\/b>with over <\/span>80,000 sold<\/b>. The La Grande Wheel went for a ride this year, having spun for <\/span>5092 revolutions<\/b> which is equivalent to about <\/span>515 miles<\/b>. That would be like driving from Phoenix to Yosemite National Park!<\/span><\/p>\n

We wanted to extend our gratitude to those who participated in <\/span>Feel Good Friday presented by Sanderson Ford<\/b>. The Arizona State Fair along with the help from the community brought in <\/span>129,212 pounds<\/b> of food which will all be donated to <\/span>Operation Santa Claus and St. Mary\u2019s Food Bank<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Fair is also record breaking as the <\/span>Arizona Science Center<\/b><\/a> broke the Guinness World Record for the largest object drop inertia experiment on the Community S<\/span>taged presented by Global Credit Union when they <\/span>successfully dropped 155 eggs<\/b> safely into water-filled cups.<\/span><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s lineup featured country artist, Walker Hayes, latin sensation, Becky G, R&B legend, NE-YO, and much more garnering <\/span>thousands of cheering fans<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n
