Say What?

Yesterday we went to the local farmer's market and sat near a woman, who looked about 60, and a friend of hers. We were all watching the kids playing in the water the fire department sprays at one end of the market every week when the woman suddenly turned to her friend and said, "They're more energetic than a US State at a county fair!".

I waited for the friend to ask her to explain the comment, but she just accepted the statement with a nod, and I'm not outgoing enough to ask a person I don't know if they're on crack, or just insane, so now I'm still confused... WHAT THE HECK DOES THAT MEAN? If anyone has any idea, please tell me.
