Few things say summer like a state fair. And, as a graduate from the nearby University of Dayton, I was thrilled to take part in today’s opening of the 157th Ohio State Fair with Governor Ted Strickland.
A proud Buckeye tradition, the Ohio State Fair has delighted locals and visitors since 1850. Last year alone, over 800,000 people turned out to take part in the livestock competitions, concerts, rides, and butter sculptures that make up a true state fair experience.
