First time visiting this fairgrounds. We were visiting there as Hardin County Royalty and to meet their royalty. The staff we did meet were friendly and gave directions where we needed to get to.

Read moreStar family circus was awesome! It was a little overbooked, the bleachers were full even Arriving early. They did invite the kids to sit front row right outside the stage before starting.
