Going to the state fair with the family has been a rite of passage here in America for as long as anyone can remember. Getting a deep-fried Oreo, then hitting up a booth to try to win a teddy bear for you or your person, then hopping onto the Ferris wheel for a view of the city like none other.

Usually, going to the state fair requires a decent chunk of change, if you want to fully embrace the day, but now you can go with your whole family, and get paid $15,000 to do so.

AmericInn by Wyndham is seeking one family to travel to up to three state fairs in the Midwest over the course of a week and share their tips on social media as they go, the hotel group shared with Travel + Leisure. The lucky family will then get paid $15,000 for the job.

There does seem to be a small amount of work that comes with this paid gig, though. You will not only have to well-document your experience on social media, you will also have to contribute to the future AmericInn “Best of the Midwest Fair Guide.”

If you have ever said, "I need to be paid for putting up with this family," it looks like this is your lucky day. To enter the contest, families must submit a 300-word minimum written entry with a family photo or a 60 second video application online or by email at fairfamily@americinn.com, showing why they are “the ideal candidates for the role, while showcasing family flair and social-media savviness.”

Each family should also provide their social media handles. Submissions must be received by July 25, and the winner will be notified around the week of Aug. 2.

Luke Bryan listed his 4,600-square-foot beach house for sale in December 2022. The stunning Florida mansion includes four bedrooms and bathrooms and comes furnished. The master bedroom overlooks 95 feet of water frontage, but if you don't want to descend all four floors to get there, you can absorb the warmth of the private, heated pool. This Santa Rosa Beach property is on sale for $18 million, among the most ever for a country star's house.

Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood's former beachside house in Malibu offered a gorgeous vacation paradise for the country music power couple to relax.

Brooks and Yearwood bought their 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom, 4,200-square-foot house in Malibu for slightly less than $5 million in June of 2008. The house itself is fairly modest, but very well-appointed, featuring an open floor plan.

The living room boasts a corner fireplace and multiple sets of French doors that open to the backyard. The kitchen includes marble countertops, while skylights offer plenty of natural California sunlight. The den features floor-to-ceiling bookshelves on either side of a fireplace of white brick.

The backyard is spectacular, featuring a loggia, an outdoor fireplace, a half-court basketball court and elaborate landscaping. The house provides direct access to the world-famous Malibu beach via a set of steps.

The couple sold the house in Malibu in late 2016 for $7 million.

Kelsea Ballerini is taking fans inside the dazzling modern farmhouse that she now calls home in Nashville. The singer's new residence is filled with colorful furniture and bold-print wallpaper that she calls "maximalist," but it's also set on a piece of land big enough for her dog, Dibs, to have some room to roam.
