At-Large D.C. Councilmember Christina Henderson shared the Instagram video and spoke about checking out the booths for states, with some passing out brochures and others hosting interactive experiences.
“I occasionally do things so you don’t have to,” Henderson joked. “Take a look at this paper mâché-arch-looking situation.”
Henderson walked through the fairgrounds and described the scene.
“Besides the Ferris wheel there’s actually no other activity, so it’s not like a fair where you’re coming to ride a bunch of rides or see stuff. They have the rodeo and that’s about it,” she explained.

She wrote in her caption: “Not a funnel cake, corn dog, bucket lemonade, or fried Snickers in sight.”
