It's Time For The Fairfield County Fair!

Pumpkins are adorning front porches, the leaves are starting to fall, and the smell of Fried Twinkies wafting through the air can only mean one thing…. it’s time for the Fairfield County Fair! This year the Fair will be held Sunday, October 10th to Saturday, October 16th. Admission is $5.00 per person, children 9 and under are FREE.

Gates open at Noon on Sunday and this is the only day that admission to the Fair is FREE (it‘s also typically the busiest day of the week). If you have children that want to go on the rides on Sunday, you will still need to buy tickets or a wristband.

Ticket and wristband prices are as follows:

Single tickets: $1.00 each. Kiddie rides require TWO tickets; adult rides will require THREE tickets.

Wristband prices for all rides are as follows:
Sunday 12 noon - 6:30pm $13.00
Monday 12 noon - 10:00pm $14.00
(plus free merry-go-round, Monday 12:00 noon - 10:00pm)
Tuesday 12 noon - 10:00pm $14.00
Wednesday 12 noon - 10:00pm $14.00
Thursday 10:00am - 10:30pm $13.00
Friday 10:00am - 10:30pm $13.00
Saturday 10:00am - 10:00pm $14.00

*Ticket sales begin 1/2 hour before the start of rides.
*The wristband does not include side attractions such as the Fun House and the Dark Ride.

When your kids have had their fill of the rides (or you’ve run out of tickets!), take a walk around the grounds and check out all of the farm animals. From horses and cows, to sheep, rabbits, turkeys, pigs and chickens, you’re kids will love getting an up-close look at all of the animals! While touring the grounds, don’t forget to stop in to the various tents and have a look around. Many of them give out free items and the kids will enjoy filling up their bags as they go from tent to tent. Now, let’s not forget the most important part of the fair…all of that delicious Fair food! Be sure to bring along some extra money for a few tasty treats. Everything seems to cost roughly $5.00 per item, so plan accordingly. It’s a good idea to carry in your own drinks/bottled water so that you can save your money to buy an Elephant Ear, Italian sausage, Deep-Fried Twinkie, Corn Dog, Cheesecake on a Stick, or even just some fries. You’ll need to do a 12-day detox afterward, but hey, the Fair only comes once a year, right? There are also many activities that go on in the in the Grandstand area each day. For example, the Jason Michael Carroll concert, Truck and Tractor Pull, Demolition Derby, Harness Races and the School Band Parade.

This is only a small sample of the many events and activities that go on at the Fairfield County Fair. For a complete schedule of events and additional information, please visit the Fairfield County Fair’s official website at: www.fairfieldcountyfair.com
