They're part business venture, part livestock exhibition and part historic tradition. But state fairs weren't always the family-friendly events they are today. We'll talk about state fairs past and present. Trish's guests are NH Agriculture Commissioner Steve Taylor www.state.nh.us/agric/aghome.html, NHPR Humanities Reporter Kevin Gardner, and Hopkinton State Fair Manager Alan Hardy www.hsfair.org.
