A hallmark of the Cuyahoga County Fair is our Victory Arch. Those who have seen it recently know that it is in dire need of repair. We have put together a plan to restore the arch to its former glory, but we need your help. We are selling Save Our Victory Arch T-Shirts to help support this effort. So get a great memento of the Fair, and help us keep our arch from falling further into disrepair! To buy a T-Shirt, simply call our offices at 440-243-0090. Thanks for your support!
Thank you for attending the 113th Cuyahoga County Fair. It was great having you, your family and friends at this year’s event.
While the Fair was running, The Plain Dealer on Friday, August 14th, gave the following description of our event:
“A monkey in a checkered suit riding on top of a dog next to a woman with a banana hat. Freshly baked, blue-ribbon pies. A smash-'em, crash-'em demolition derby. Enormous draft horses neighing in their stalls. Gleaming, oversized vegetables. Eager 4-H teens showing their prize livestock. Bags of fluorescent cotton candy blowing in the wind. Toddlers playing sword games with corndogs. Giggly tweens holding hands as they enter the haunted house. Screams of scared glee from the blinking rides. All in one place. For just one week.
“Yes, it's the Cuyahoga County Fair. The 113th fair, in fact. And though times have changed since area farmers rode in with their livestock and produce for the first fair in 1893, one thing remains the same: The county fair is about a community coming together -- to see friends, sell wares and livestock, have a family night out or a first date, show off their homegrown skills and produce, and, of course, to try an elephant ear or two.”
We want to thank The Plain Dealer and you for joining us this year and hope to see you next August for the 114th Edition of our Fair.
