The fair itself was as always. The demolition derby was not as well organized as some before. The last match was held way too late and there were too many players involved. 30 plus cars in the final. It was the worse ever that I’ve experienced. To many light hits and friends against others then sandbag it. The seating was terrible as always. The place knows that they can fill twice the capacity it now has. They could even move it around and have the afternoon and evening sun at the back of the seating if they wanted more money for attendance at the Truck & Tractor pulls as well. Everything cost 💲 but the seating needs to be fixed so bad. I was at one the week before and was just a tiny bit better only because of the drivers. The other was just as bad about seating for years. I’m in my 60s now. The stands were the same except one, but they were built the same size. Maybe one length of 20 ft may have been added. It cost way more and seen less of a show. But more exciting. Add more seating and make available seats for the handicapped! Best part of the event on the video. Couldn’t share all. Thank...
   Read moreWe always go to watch the Derby and it has gotten quite large following now and I suggest if you want a seat next year you need to be 4-5 hrs early for the lineup. We had to sit in the grass area because the bleachers are very small. I was wearing shorts and was a big mistake. Wound up getting chiggers all over my legs and even in the private area. Never again will I do that. I have enough medical issues that if I see next year that it’s full. I’m simply not returning. Over 50 years I’ve watched this grow into a big fair. You can’t tell me the comity that runs the place doesn’t make enough money to revise the seating area. They did however do a little paving and that is all. The NTPA I do believe won’t show there and I believe it’s because they can’t handle the crowd and seating. Canfield will always be my favorite. Been going for over 50 years also. It is in full swing now. Derby on Friday and Saturday night the Big Pullers - mods,...
   Read moreRip off not worth the money. First of all their flyer says the exibit hall opens at 8am. They opened the fair gates a hour late and didn't open till 9am. Had a lot of unhappy people waiting outside and they said theyve always opened at 8am and never 9am
Also they charge $10 for any person entering whether adult or child. The ride pass is calculated into that. I had to pay $20 for both my kids under 2 who couldn't enjoy the rides or anything else. Cost my family $40 and was a let down. Could have done 100 other better things and for less money. The fair itself is smaller and I've been to cheaper better fairs that were half the size
Even if I did want to ride the rides none were open and none of the food was open either. So paid $40 to ride rides and they weren't even available.
Would not take my family here again. Can spend...
