Visited: July 30
Howard, the OFMA's executive director, escorted me around the fair. Howard had been on the fair board for 27years and served as the president for several years. He informed me that the Summit County Fair is a newer fair, it was 53 years old, since it began in 1957. I had the opportunity to meet the fair's queen, Megan. She shows horses; I learned that the horse project is very popular in Summit County. I watched exhibitors compete for the title of Showman of Showman. The fair highlighted a number of antiques in the Summit County Farm Bureau Antique Museum. The building was created in 1991. Good Luck to Megan as she continues her year as fair queen!
