    Hey, Iowa has more than the fair! But most are summer things, there's lots of very pretty campgrounds and state parks, about every small town has some sort of carnival or festival, and for fitness there's RAGBRAI every summer :)

    I loathe RAGBRAI. Thankfully they haven't been in my area in the past few years. Such a pain to try to drive anywhere!

    California also has Great America, Silicon Valley, beautiful beaches, Marine World and lots of other places of interest!

    You sound like you must be where I grew up.

    I worked at Great America when I was in HS. Of course, it was Marriott's then, but Oh, YEAH!

    I still get homesick, almost 30 years later.

    Hey I live in Alabama too. But I live in the northern part of the state. Not a lot to do around here. You can do everything there is to do in an hours radius of here in a day (Believe me I‘ve hit all the local parks and attractions. Some of them the locals haven’t even heard of until I told them about them). If you really want to do something memorable you need to travel at least an hour and a half to get to a major city. The popular saying around here by anyone with a heartbeat is “the best way to have fun if you live in Alabama is leave“. Oh I’ve been to the beaches in the southern part of the state and they nice but it takes about 6 hours to get there.

    Uh, Colorado is pretty awesome.



    Hiking
    Skiing/snowboarding
    Biking of all kinds
    Trails all through the city
    Kayaking
    Basically every outdoor sport you could want except those that require ocean...
    Numerous different art districts
    History! Intrigue!
    Amazing food - any cuisine you could ever want
    A food truck festival downtown every Friday, all summer
    Want to climb big mountains? We have 14ers!
    Old-West-style gambling in several historical mining towns
    A nightlife!! Club district with expensive drinks and short skirts
    Museums. Loads of them.
    Like to get high? You totally can smoke pot here!
    Did I mention the breweries yet? Hundreds of them. No joke. More beer than you can shake a stick at. Good beer, too.
    Like sh!tty beer? We have Coors and Budweiser plants!
    Bands love to come here. Concerts are amazing. Red Rocks Amphitheater - google it.. it's impressive.
    Green Chili. On everything. We really love our green chili.
    Casa Bonita.
    In to military stuff? We have NORAD.
    Camping - from back country tent camps to luxury cabins...
    Cave of the Winds!
    Cliff Dwellings in several parts of the state
    We're really in to organic stuff, so we have Whole Foods, Sprouts, Sunflower, Natural Grocers, and soon Trader Joe's too
    We're also in to junk food - there are a lot of gourmet hot dog places around town....
    ....... Colorado is basically the most amazing place ever.

    I think the only thing you left out is Frozen Dead Guy Days.

    I KNEW I was missing something about the greater Boulder area!!!! You just can't think of Nederland without thinking of Frozen Dead Guy Days and Boulderites!

    We do make great beer, though!

    Yes....Isn't the release day of Oberson like a state holiday? haha
    When there isn't much else to do and a lot of depressed people, good beer develops ;)

    My favorite thing to do in GA is hiking at the state parks. As far as attractions: Atlanta has an aquarium, Six Flags, World of Coke and Savannah has a nice historical downtown and of course the beaches.
