When did you last attend a county or state fair?

JENNIFER CURTIS, Oakwood: “It’s been a long time. I think I was around 16. I used to live in a farm town, and everyone went to the fair. It’s just what you did. But I never think about going now.”

MARLENE SHOWALTER, Kettering: “It’s probably been about five years ago that we went to the Ohio State Fair. We were just talking about the fact that it’s coming up soon, and we’ll probably go this year. I like the exhibits and watching the kids with their animals. I think that’s so cute.”

JOHN NORTH, Dayton: “I took one of my sons to the Montgomery County fair when he was younger. I liked the fries, and the people, and everyone from around the community gathering around for good food and good spirits.”

DIANA KOESTERS, Centerville: “It’s been a long time — at least 10 years ago, when we went to the Ohio State Fair. We enjoyed looking at the vegetables and the cattle, because we still had our farm then.”

As a county prisoner, picking up/cleaning up the vestiges of corn dog crumbs and various other trash. Yummy. It was better than the green bologna and sour milk they provided in our prisoner box lunches. Other than that, I had a pretty good time.

It was 10 years ago. I spent $50 within an hour, so we never went back

Was mugged at the Montgomery County Fair in 1973. I haven’t been to a fair since.

It has been 29 years now. Really disappointed with it. I go to town fairs like Yellow Springs. Much nicer.
