VENDOR BEWARE - THIS PLACE WILL RIP YOU OFF. Did fair in 2014 and they place all local farm vendors in prime spots paying heavily discounted fairs. Other private vendors pay full price to get ripped off - had no or zero customers and were put in the worst spots such as front near gates (don't be fooled - all action near the back of the fair where this place has its large amusement partner) or along the walkway to the amusement at the back.
