Dream Job Alert: AmericInn by Wyndham Seeks One Family to Uncover the Best State Fairs Across America's Heartland

Summer's most coveted family travel gig is back with a $15,000 payday, endless funnel cake, and more

PARSIPPANY, N.J., July 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Outrageously delicious food, hog-calling contests, carnival games, and endless activities – summertime officially marks the return of the Midwest's iconic state fairs, bringing on smiles, laughter, and full stomachs for families across the Heartland. To celebrate an iconic summer staple, AmericInn by Wyndham – the family-friendly hotel brand recognized as America's welcoming neighbor – is back offering this summer's best gig: State Fair Family. The hotel brand seeks one adventurous family to travel across the Midwest in search of the best each state fair has to offer. Best of all, the job comes with a $15,000 payday.

From Iowa to Illinois, state fairs have played a fundamental role in United States culture for over a century with a knack for captivating people of all ages. AmericInn's second annual State Fair Family will have the enviable task of soaking it all in, visiting three iconic state fairs over the course of a week and sharing their pro tips and tricks along the way via social media. In exchange for the family's hard work of sampling finger-licking powdered sugar covered confections and stomaching swirling, adrenaline-inducing rides, the winning family will be provided with hotel arrangements including 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.  

"Just like it's all about family-friendly fun at the fairground, guests count on AmericInn hotels to connect them to memorable experiences across the heartland and beyond," said Clem Bence, vice president and brand leader, AmericInn by Wyndham. "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, all while captivating an audience on social media with their memorable adventures along the way."
