Used to go all the time back in elementary school. We even got a day off school to go to the fair.

Oh, my, yes. Many times. County fairs rock. They’re usually held on grassy fairgrounds, not blacktop. Far less heat, easier on the feet. Contests in many categories, from pie-baking and quilting to the animals for 4-H kids’ projects. The food is great and the line to rides aren’t two hours deep.
I’d go to a county fair instead of amusement parks any day of the week.

yes, in Greece we still hold the tradition of old fairs, I actually love them!
meggie · F
Many times. I loved them as a kid more than an adult.
AbbeyRhode · F
Many times, county fairs, and state fairs. I miss it so much.
ElwoodBlues · M
Yes, I've been to & taken our kids to a summertime county fair multiple times.

The Nottingham Goose Fair.
One of the most ancient in England.
Held since at least 1274 on St Matthews Day, and for eight days after.
The venue was the old market square till 1928. Closed of course during the plague years of 1646, 2000, 2001.
Took my first fiancee there whilst we we both students.

@peterlee Nottingham Goose Fair - keeps vying for size with Hull Fair ....
peterlee · M
@gandalf1957 Only a funfair on the recreation ground, near the Red Light district now.
gandalf1957 · 61-69, M
@peterlee which the Hull one or the Nottingham one?
peterlee · M
The Fenland fairs are quite an ancient. March fair was given a charter in 1642.
I visited it as a boy at Grammar School.
My village Green had a fair, as the Fair community convergent on Nottingham. The fair men gave the young girls free rides there.
Whittlesey fair was near the Butter Cross. My younger son visited it, whilst I saw my father, in the early nineties.

Yes, back in my hometown they have one every year called the Pacific National Exhibition.
HumanEarth · F
Yes, but ive stopped going cause they went cashless. If they dont want my money - they dont need me there
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
@HumanEarth I'm assuming you mean they want your money, just not in cash form?
Gibbon · 70-79, M
Yes, several different ones within the state. Many carnivals too. The last one was probably 18 years ago. County Fair. The best thing to me about all the fairs is getting fresh kettle corn.

@Gibbon Indeed
beermeplease · M
yeah...we just had one called the pne.... went there as a toddler and a couple of years ago ....just not recently
BrandNewMan · 61-69, M
Many times in my youth and with my kids, not so much now
Adrift · 61-69, F
Several of them.
DDonde · 36-40, M
Yes, used to as a kid. Haven’t really since
4meAndyou · F
Yes, many times! Out west, when I was a kid, I went to the County fair once or twice...4H exhibitions, jam and pie contests...things like that. But there was also always a ferris wheel, and booths with contests and fair food.
The Marshfield Fair here in Massachusetts gets VERY fancy. They have Monster Truck shows, concerts, and several rides and all the contests and booths and fair food.
Then there is King Richard's Faire, in Carver...which is soooo much fun! Because if you want to rent a costume, or make one yourself, you can be part of it!

Many times. Its a annual fall thing in most towns.
Crazywaterspring · 61-69, M
A long time ago. Now I avoid crowds and the heat.
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
Many years ago, but generally the County Fair around here is held in the height of summer when the temperature is in the 90s, the mosquitoes are out in force, and the sun is burning -- so I stay home in the air conditioning and miss the fair.
GoFish ·
yeah a long time ago
ArishMell · 70-79, M
Not country shows (based around agriculture) but I've been to many preserved-vehicle rallies and those have various display events, side-shows, market stalls and exhibition tents.
Fairground rides too, but I'm not interested in those, and don't pay much attention to the market areas.

Yes,though not in recent years - they are usually called "shows" here in Australia,the term "fair" is not commonly used.
