Trump’s Great American State Fair Loses Power, Melting Ice Cream on Day 1

A power outage hit the food hall on Thursday, knocking out lights and melting vendors’ ice cream on the first full day of Trump’s 16-day Great American State Fair.
Fox 5 DC and other reporters at the event said lights repeatedly shut off and came back on, while workers told USA Today they faced a 30-minute delay before reheating stuffed pretzel rolls after power returned.
Food options were already limited early in the festivities, with reports saying only turkey legs for $23, a smash cheeseburger for $20, a giant western sausage for $20 and $9 lemonade were initially available.
The glitch added to signs of a shaky opening after Trump claimed 45,000 people attended his Wednesday kickoff rally, while video and other reporting showed a much sparser crowd on the National Mall.
