Summer’s most coveted family travel gig is back with a $15,000 payday, endless funnel cake, and blue ribbons.

Summertime officially marks the return of the Midwest’s iconic state fairs and to celebrate the iconic summer staple, the family-friendly Wyndham hotels are back offering this summer’s best gig: apply to become the AmericInn State Fair Family.

They’re searching for one adventurous family to travel across the Midwest in search of the best things each state fair has to offer. Best of all, the job comes with $15,000 to help with travel.

From Iowa to Illinois, the winning State Fair Family will have the enviable task of visiting three iconic state fairs over the course of a week and sharing their pro tips and tricks via social media.

In exchange for the family’s hard work of sampling powdered sugar-covered confections and adrenaline-inducing rides, the winning family will be provided with 7 paid nights at AmericInn hotels, a $10,000 travel stipend and $5,000 cash. The family will also score a suitcase packed to the brim with AmericInn swag, an upgrade to Wyndham Rewards® Diamond membership, and lasting memories for a lifetime.

“Alongside the good old-fashioned hospitality and modern comforts at our hotels, the lucky State Fair Family will fully immerse themselves in the best of the Midwest’s iconic state fairs,” said Clem Bence, VP and brand leader at AmericInn by Wyndham. “All while captivating an audience on social media with their memorable adventures along the way.”
