Very confusing set up. Not enough time to do all desired attractions and pricing for rides and food were thru the roof. Parking was the easiest part of our visit. I had not been in 25yrs. May be another 25yrs before I go again. Some love it and look forward to it each year. To each, his own...

Questions & Answers

Why can people that are hired by the fair, such as the bartenders, lemonade stands, and Vivs Cafes accept tips, and not any of the vendors? If you’re not in an RCS Shirt, no tips.
