English readers read from left to right. It makes sense to have the question mark come first since it is a question. That information should come as soon as possible.

You went to the fair!? > Lame. I figure out that it's actually a question and not a statement after I've been told that it's a statement. It's a rug pull; a grammatical shitcoin.

You went to the fair?! > It's presented first as a question (because it is) and then the question is exclaimed. This makes more sense if the goal is to ask a question with excited emphasis.

Neither is correct in my opinion, but one clearly makes more informal sense to me.

Peace.

Thank you for sharing, Matt! This made me laugh.

And please coin the term “grammatical shitcoin” ASAP.
