"For two weeks, Baton Rouge can gather beneath the same carnival lights: children chasing ribbons, adults chasing children, and one remarkable woman chasing altitude," writes RedEyeBR's Mukul Verma.
"Even the midway has a civic purpose. Since 1987, the fair has contributed about $5 million to local nonprofits."
