Summary: We were staying in town for the Lainey Wilson concert at the state fair. Check in was great and as busy as they were it was smooth and everyone so friendly. We were able to take the shuttle with other fair goers and the drivers were awesome. It was so nice that they offered that service. We would definitely stay again for the fair.
