Arlington County Fair with 2 year old?

Anyone going to the Arlington County Fair with their toddler?  It starts next Friday I think.  I've never been so I don't know what is toddler-friendly there, but thinking it would be a good activity for DS.  I imagine they must have some small rides/attractions?

Any other good fairs in the area coming this fall/late summer?

    We went to the Prince William County fair with DS last summer and he loved it.  I'm assuming most county fairs are the same.  There were tons of  little kid rides, funnel cake, farm animals (he is scared of them, but lots of kids like them), slides, etc.  We're definitely going again!

    Oh, the Prince William County fair starts  next week.

    I took DD last year and she enjoyed it.  We didn't do any rides (she was 17 months), but we watched the pig races and walked around.  The exhibit hall had a lot of fun things to do and there were some great shows to watch.

    It's very toddler friendly.  We've gone for the past 4 years.  One warning-there is little to no shade so be prepared for full on sun and heat.  Go early or late if possible.  

    They have lots of smaller toddler rides.  I think the parent has to go on if they are not a certain height.  My kids love it.   

    It's also very small and low key in terms of fairs-very manageable with small kids.

    good to know about the shade.  Thanks!

    We go every year (with or without kids). DS wasn't even 1 yet last year, but this year he's 22 months so I think he'll really enjoy it.
