thing to see at the State Fair leave a comment in the comment section now right now we're in front of the replica of the State Fair Gates apparently the the actual State Fair gates in order to get your picture taken in front of them you have to stand out in the middle of the street which is apparently very unsafe so they built a replica of the gates here in the fairgrounds so everyone can enjoy having their picture safely taken in front of the gate so now it is time to explore the Missouri State Fair please follow me [Music] here we are in front of the women's building which is also the Missouri Department of Natural Resources says take a picture with me I am the Missouri Department of resources State on scene coordinator respond to environmental emergencies through the state to help protect people and the environment so yeah the guy in the Hazmat suit uh coming at you with the geiger counter there buffer cycle if will oh this reminds me I need to start making plans for the solar eclipse apparently you can see the totality here in part of Missouri I got to figure out where I'm going to be okay where am I going to be April 8th 2024 save the date uh leave us like leave some comments in the comment section anyone know where it would be a really cool and unique place to see the solar eclipse from it looks like downstairs they have the Missouri State Fair Museum down here they have a gallery of all the State Fair Queens stops at 20 20 21 so I don't know who the uh who the queen was last year say Grand Champion hog trophy it's a collection of souvenir belt buckles from the fair where are you from why are they why are they assuming I'm from Missouri here is the University of Missouri building it says eat Smart like a tiger yes Tiger's uh Tigers tend to eat a lot of raw meat which is not necessarily smart for humans although this guy looks like he's he's taking a minute to eat an apple here's the College of veterinary medicine at the University of Missouri have these different teaching models here oh look at that I actually I went on a weird Rabbit Hole once where I was watching um hoof videos where they were they were working on the Hooves of cattle and draining infection out of cattle hubs that was like one of those oddly compelling things you stumble upon on YouTube and can't quit watching oh what's that maybe some be an ingrown hair there and a rotten rotten tooth inside of an eyeball so you see the medical model there you see inside the cow little piggy there as well and there is a cat that's inside showing that's my first bear this is

you have a little uh little potato man here next to next to the uh the giant cabbage here oh there's a largest tomato there it's uh 2.3 pounds that's a pretty big tomato oh look at these delicious racks of ribs of course I definitely associate Missouri with some good barbecue oh look at these hams these hams look like they could last 10 000 years and still be delicious yeah look at all these hams it's fascinating yeah it's fascinating how you can like cure a ham so it can essentially last forever yeah even more hams over here I didn't I didn't realize ham was such a big deal in Missouri I generally associate hams with uh Virginia man look at all those hams some giant pumpkins back here the biggest one 725 pounds there in the back well I think the one in Iowa yesterday was maybe a little bit a little bit bigger but uh look at these giant watermelons watermelon here 147 pounds that's amazing imagine just like chopping that open and just just eating the whole thing it says black vultures are increasing in population their aggressive nature can cause problems for livestock and they have a black vulture hanging here I guess this is a turkey vulture but I guess the ones you want to look out for are uh are these there's the state fair Volunteer Fire Department here's a display showing the difference between having fire sprinklers and not having fire sprinklers this is with fire sprinklers you can see they don't work 100 it's still got the curtain burned there you got nasty nasty uh black stuff all over the couch but let's see without fire sprinklers okay yeah I'm gonna
