Coosa Valley Fairgrounds — Local services in Rome

we came to the fair on Wednesday, me my two sisters and out 5 children, we purchased $150.00 in armbands for the kids to ride the rides. We arrived around 6:00 that evening and started where we normal take the kids on the back side where you guys host the magic shoe and circus. When we got over to what we always have called the kid section we notice there were only two rides, so we walked around for a few minutes to find out the kids rides where mostly the first few rides when you passed all the food vendors. So by now it is about 6:30 the kids were super excited that we have found the rides and the only problem was 3 of the rides they wanted to ride were shut down, so we let them rotate the few that were available. I then noticed one of the rides they had been trying to ride the circus train, so we got in line for that. The man running the machine was just completely rude to the children, one of the kids put their hand on the gate and was jumping with excitement, happy that the rides they were already limited to that had been closed the entire time was finally open. So while my child was holding the gate, the gentleman jerked his hand off of it and told him he could not touch the door. Now if my child had opened the gate or you know something that I found inappropriate then saying something to him nicely would be understandable but that was not the case. I find it inappropriate for a fair ride worker, to put his hand on a child in the first place, but to be rude and upset my child to the point that he didn't even want to ride the ride anymore. So I approached a different male who is working rides and asked him to point me in the direction of whom I needed to speak with about an issue. He the replies with well I’m the one in charge of all of these rides what’s the problem, I explained the above and asked when the other few rides would be opened. He Gets all jazzy and says well ma'am we get breaks too. I responded with I understand but we have been over here for over an hour waiting on the rides to be opened back up. He looks at me and says well that is how long I just said the break was. So I’m at this point just fed up with the service and attitudes that I’m receiving. So I walked to the next ride that was open, and asked the lady who was over everyone working the rides. She pointed me to a trailer beside the basketball game. I then explained all the above to the lady in the office, and it was just a waste of time. At this point you have five upset children who are all under the age of seven, having to ride the same four rides that were open. Now here it is close to 10:30 and the one ride the Jumping Star, that had such a sweet lady working it, she was loading all the kids on the ride and here comes the same man who said he was over that section tell her they could not ride it was needing to be shut down! So not only did you cause the children the worst experience ever! They are finally able to ride something and you want to come shut it down! So we asked if they could please ride this ride considering the circumstances and yet again we had to listen to his filthy mouth complain and curse (thank god our children were on the ride and couldn’t hear) to another employee on how "them girls are getting on his F* nerves." Again we had spent $150.00 JUST on armbands, which my children couldn't even put to use. All the attitudes and disrespect we received yesterday was just ridiculous. We have been coming to this fair for over 20 years and I just don’t think whoever is over all this would be satisfied with people representing...

I was so excited to watch them enjoy rides and games! The parking was okay for healthy people but handy cap accessibility was not visible to my eyes 👀 , there were people that were using canes and having trouble being able to walk ..but had to walk up from parking lot 6 😮‍💨out of breath having to stop and take time to keep going. We got up to the entrance finally lol. Admission was $5.00 per person and we had four people $20.00. There where bathrooms and hand washing stations. They put safety Matt’s down over wires and the staff where friendly and they did check to make sure peoples belts and locks where good on the rides, the food court was huge… lines everywhere and really greasy, threw together.. they quickly started running out of supplies and the a lot of the time the vendors where overwhelmed with people and started loosing business. Tickets where high and did not go far unless you had the bracelets. Meet lots of friendly people that we enjoyed conversation with… thank you for your time we enjoyed you🫵 we saw competitions on cheer .. we really enjoyed the 🌟 shining star group they where amazing!
