A Washington, D.C. lawmaker captured a tour of the Great American State Fair in Washington D.C. on Friday — showing a mostly empty fairgrounds.
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.
"If you're looking for state fair food — they ain't got it," Henderson said.
She wrote in her caption: "Not a funnel cake, corn dog, bucket lemonade, or fried Snickers in sight."
People were quick to comment on her video.
"I think you just wrote the SNL sketch," Anne Wonsettler Robinson wrote.
"It's giving Fort Lauderdale Barbie Dream Fest flop," Jessie Jo Ponce de Leon wrote.
"What in the middle school geography fair is happening there!?" Suzanne Roth wrote.
"We all needed this public service announcement. Thank you," Kaitlin Calogera wrote.

There is a line at the ferris wheel because apparently that is the only thing to do there.
I will take a wild guess and say that 90% of the people going to this are MAGA. The 250th national birthday wasnt supposed to be like that.
Maybe the MAGA planners thought Trump said he wanted a "Great American State Ferris Wheel" celebration. With such abject stupidity on constant display in this administration, can we really rule it out?
This all should have been done by a third party committee not MAGA loyalists. They turned their back on 70% of the potential audience before it even started.
I read there will be "Freedom Trucks" there. They will display American history according to Prager University, which created the exhibits in the freedom trucks.
The Confederate flag showed up as part of a video presentation at the North Carolina booth at the Great American State fair.
So... If, as it seems, Freedom 250 put so little effort and resources into this "state fair" what happened to all the money?
