Erie County Fairgrounds — Attraction in Perkins Township

I am sorely disappointed with this “fair”. I thought Ohio knew how to put on a good county fair. I’m from Youngstown and both of our county fairs are like 25x the size of this one and that’s not an exaggeration at all. There was absolutely nothing here for kids except a few animals to see. No rides. No fun games. We moved to Erie Co. in December and I was super excited for fair season and promised my 3 year old fun rides and games because I’ve literally never been to a fair in any state without these staple attractions.

Thank god they didn’t charge...

This is a pretty small fair compared to others ive gone to, much smaller than Geauga, Medina, Cuyahoga county's fairs. Plenty of food and animals, not so many rides. We had a nice time, heard some...
