| The Field Notes County Fair Pennsylvania Edition |
Field Notes memo books come with 48 pages of Finch Opaque 50#T "whitewash" white paper. The grids are printed in a "babe the blue ox belly" light blue. You get 3 books, 1 blue, 1 red, 1 yellow, to represent the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place ribbons at a county fair. (The yellow looks the best, blue is great, but red is a bit hard to read)

| The Pen Test, The paper held up well |
The Paper is a joy to write on and has minimal show through. The only pens that showed through were the Pilot Plumix, and the Sheaffer Disposable Calligraphy pen. Both of these pens also had a tiny bit of bleed through onto the opposite page. This isn't a big deal for me since I use the Field Notes memo books as an everyday pocket notebook and don't carry fountain pens with me. The fine tip fountain pens preformed fine with no show through and no bleed through.

The front cover features the simple Field Notes branding in the front center, and special to the County Fair edition the name of your selected state in center bottom.
 |
| The Inside Cover |
The inside front cover features your standard personal information section, along with a section for pertinent coordinates, date started/finished, and a contact section with an option to mark off whether or not you will reward the person who finds your book if lost.
The Back inside cover features the Field Notes brand story, a 5 inch ruler, hilarious practical applications, and the specifications/materials that were used to make each notebook.
 |
| The inside back cover and the back cover |
The back cover of the county fair edition is different than a normal Field Notes Memo book. On the back is a plethora of interesting facts and stats about your selected state. For instance Pennsylvania had the nation's first Zoological Garden in 1874. Also on the back is a statement that says "printed and manufactured in the U.S.A" something I appreciate and I know others do as well.
Despite feeling a bit flimsy the books hold up really well in a pocket, and get a nice wrinkled look to them. I have been using the Blue notebook for about a month and it looks no worse for wear.
Overall the Field Notes County Fair edition is a fun way to spice up your pocket notebooks, without sacrificing quality.
