It’s fair season in Ohio.
4-H club members are prepping their animals for show and frantically finishing their project books. Vendors are stocking up on all of the gut-busting, deep-fried fair foods (yes, even those deep-fried Twinkies) people love. And fans are trying to figure out a way to snag front-row seats at the big show.
But despite similar threads sewn into each county fair, it is their vendors and particular oddities that make local fairs worth a visit.
With fairs running from June through October — visit ohiofairs.org for a complete list of fair dates — you can visit plenty to see how your local fair stacks up.
Each has its own uniqueness,” Dan Kimmet, president of the Ohio Fair Managers Association, said. “They’re all trying to find a niche.”

The Richland County Fair created its niche by ensuring almost all entertainment is free, ensuring families can afford to attend and celebrate the success of 4-H participants.
Each year, the fair hosts performers geared toward family fun, such as the Zerbini Family Circus and Johnny Peers’ Muttville Comix show. Both shows change every few years to showcase new and exciting acts.
