“This event is being brought back by popular demand, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the enthusiastic patronage of those who have supported our fair for so many years,” states Fair Board Concession Director Diane Barton. This Fair Food Teaser Event will highlight favorite midway foods with over a dozen concessionaires/vendors participating. From Bloomin Onion, Pizza, Gyros, Steak Sandwiches, Italian Sausage, Hand-Dipped Corn Dogs, Fried Veggies, Loaded Tator Tots and Pierogies, to sweet treats like Apple Dumplings, Strudel, Kettle Corn, Cheesecake-On-A-Stick, Funnel Cakes, Elephant Ears, Ice Cream, Caramel & Candy Apples, to Lemonade, Boba Tea & a variety of Soft Drinks and so much more.
This is a Rain or Shine Event with FREE Admission and FREE Parking at both the Main Entrance at 19201 East Bagley and through Gate 2 off 164 Eastland Road. Be sure to bring your Piggy Bank – while some vendors accept credit cards, most are cash only.
Event Attendees can also enjoy midway arcade games (Balloon Pop, Basketball, Water Race & More) and an Axe Throwing Game.
PLUS, “Ready, Set, Shop” at the 4-H Rummage Sale (Friday thru Sunday) in the Junior Fair Building. If shopping isn’t your thing, then enjoy hands-on activities for youth along with a Petting Zoo (Animal Meet & Greet) with all 4-H Activity Proceeds benefiting Cuyahoga County 4-H.
