That&#8217;s why Popnology, a.k.a. pop culture + technology, is the first stop on our list. \u00a0We heard rumors of a Batmobile AND a Delorean, an Oculus Rift test booth and a ton of other sweet things to see. Can&#8217;t. Wait.<br \/>\n<strong>2. The Must-See: Luminasia 2.0\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211; Luminasia is back and, as cheesy as it sounds, it really is better than ever. There are a couple new lantern structures we want to see, like Big Ben, Panda Park and the Kingdom of the Birds. And of course, the Zodiac animals and gorgeous pagodas are always a sight to see!

The Must-Eat: Deep-fried Guacamole <\/strong>&#8211; We&#8217;re knee-deep in deep-fried food already, but leave it to Chicken Charlie to tempt us with another new Fair delicacy. We&#8217;re thinking a stop at Cardenas for some tacos and some deep-fried guacamole and we&#8217;re set for the day&#8230; or until dinnertime&#8230;<br \/>\n<strong>4. The Must-Ride: Le Grande Ferris Wheel &#8211; <\/strong>Nothing says FAIR like a ride on the Ferris Wheel. We plan on closing out the weekend with a nighttime ride on the Le Grande Wheel and getting a birds-eye view of the carnival.<br \/>\n<strong>5. The Must-Drink: Craft Beer Tastings <\/strong>&#8211;\u00a0We&#8217;ve done our fair share of indulging in margaritas over the years, but something we have yet to do is the craft beer tasting. That&#8217;s why we want to make this weekend all about expanding our palates over at the Beer, Wine &amp; Spirits Marketplace. We might even stop by for some wine tasting when we get a chance.<br \/>\nAre you visiting us this weekend?
