It was nice but not enough rides. More games and food than anything else. The fair needs to be bigger for the price they are charging. Bigger and better put together rides are definitely needed. Some rides were not working. We still had fun though.

I would give zero stars if that was an option. $11 admission + $35 wristband that doesn’t even get you on all of the rides. You have to buy the wristband plus additional tickets for some rides. The rides were terrible, some weren’t operational. It was mostly games that were at minimum $10 to play. Your wristband got you nothing essentially. Way overcrowded. 30+ minute lines. Sad

The staff here as far ss for the rides and petting zoo are very rude ! I had one lady yell “don’t pick up the rabbits “ instead of just coming to us and saying it respectfully. She looks like a crackhêâd she has a hat with a super thin small ponytail just so people can know who to watch out for . Overall I give the fair a 2/10 . It really wasn’t what I was expecting it to be .

I'm used to larger state fairs with exhibits and such and this was on a much smaller scale. When we went Sat in the late afternoon, it was getting full and the lines for rides and food were maybe about 5-10 people deep. Because the fairgrounds isn't too big, people in line for food were starting to get in the way of people in line for rides. When we left, at about 7ish, there were A TON of people waiting in line to get in so I imagine it quickly got unbearable inside. The food was ok, funnel cakes and cheese pizza were yummy but my friend's fried shrimp on a stick was inedible. I loved the petting zoo area, which had a couple of unique animals.

Had a good time. We went on Saturday so of course the lines were a bit extreme once the sun went down so i would suggest going around noon when it opens if you dont want to wait around in long lines with your kids! Just like every other fair ive been to after dark the teens seem to think it is ok to just cut people in line which will really piss a parent off!!!!
