"State Fair Pricing"--Legit or BS?

The state fair is a very big deal in Minnesota, and one of its many facets is certain types of business having an on-site presence and heavily promoting a "State Fair Price". Does anyone thing this is truly a legit best-anytime discount? Or just another run-of-the-mill discount, leveraging the once-a-year event to create a false sense of urgency?

I strongly believe the latter. My consumer philosophy, for big-ticket, highly negotiable purchases where the consumer is offered discounts as part of the sales pitch, without even asking--whatever price you are being offered as "today only" can be got tomorrow, or next week, too. The harder the sales person pushes, the more true this is.
