Franklin County fair

I'm sure most of you have heard about the Ohio State Fair here in Columbus every summer. That is a huge Fair with tons of thing to do and see. The Fair will he here in town this summer July 28 - August 8th. (Monday August 2nd is Family Value day. )

But for me the State Fair can be a bit overwhelming! Too many people, too much stuff so luckily my hubby knew about the Franklin County Fair. The fair ran from July 17th - 24th. and is located in Hilliard, Ohio
Now I know this post wont do you any good this summer since the fair is over, but hopefully you'll remember it NEXT summer so you can get your fix of fried food and rides that spin you into oblivion! What I like about the Franklin county fair is that it still gives you the "fair" experience without the huge crowds and overwhelming expense. It had all your usual fair going enjoyment, livestock (and the smell that goes with it), the rides, the food, the grandstand events demolition, tractor pull etc.
Admission to the fair is/was $5
Parking Free
Rides- purchase tickets or a wrist band for $12 for unlimited rides
Food- Oh the fair food.... all deep friend or loaded with sugar but surprisingly not insanely over priced.
So since I'm feeling bad that this one was After the fact, I'll throw on their website address so you can jump over there and get all the details for the fair Summer 2011!!!
