I really love the fact that Lorain County is hosting a fair this year. I am a big fan of fairs so you can imagine my excitement for attending this year. My favorite part of this particular fair is the music. I have been a fan of country music since I was a little girl and it is something that has been on my bucket list since I was a little girl. I am so glad that Lorain County gets to host this fair and I am so excited to go.
The Lorain County Fair is the biggest county fair in the state of Ohio, hosted every last Sunday of March at Mid-City Park and I believe is the largest outdoor fair of it’s kind in the country. In addition to the big variety of food vendors, there is a carnival, a midway, a midway train, and so much more. It is the best place to go for family fun.
I have to admit that I’ve never been to a fair like this before, but I’ve heard that it is very large. I have to agree with that. It’s a great place to go for families (and not just because the rides and food are great) and if you’re a fan of carnivals, you’ll love it too.
I’ve heard that the average attendance is around 15,000 to 20,000 people. I’m guessing its around the same as the fair in New Orleans, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not bigger.
The 2016 Lorain County Fair is expected to draw more than 15,000 festivalgoers to the fairgrounds and its the largest carnival in the state. It is expected that about 9,000 food vendors will be on hand for the event. The carnival, which is scheduled for Sept. 24-28, will feature rides, attractions, games, food, and live entertainment.
The 2013 Lorain County Fair drew more than 25,000 people, but the 2016 event will be bigger, with more than 20,000 expected to attend. A handful of businesses will be on site, including The Rink, Westfield City Market, CVS, and Subway.
Not only is the event bigger, but it will be a much better carnival than last year. Last year, the carnival was a disaster with long lines and a lot of people not making their way to the best attractions or even the food. It didn’t make the best of impressions when it was first publicized, but in the end, everyone’s happy.
The whole event is bigger this year, as well. Not only will the carnival have more food, it will also have a new dance partner for the kids. A new dance partner? Really? The only thing I can think of is that the carnival is bringing in more than the usual number of people from different ages, so every kid gets to learn a new dance routine.
If you have kids, you know what I mean. The best part of the event is that you can bring them along to watch some of the bands and even make your own. I was able to bring my son and we ended up watching some bands and eating a lot of food.
The only thing I don’t like about the event is the lack of live entertainment. There’s a couple of bands that will play on the big stage, but I think the main event is just a bunch of people dancing around on the floor. It’s the kind of event that will be fun for adults, but for the kids it’s just not the right time. I’m hoping that the next time you go to lorain county fair, you go with your kids and bring them along.
