So Long, Little County Fair; Hello Super Fair!

By: Mr. Wilson on August 13, 2008
The Lancaster County Fair attracted 73,000 attendees this year, up 11% from last year. I went for the first time in years, and although I didn't get to see very much, it was apparent attendance was healthy. Robbie was plenty enthralled with all the animals and people. This year marked the last "traditional" county fair, with next year's fair slated to be a "super fair". I'm not exactly sure what that means, but I take the general concept to be equivalent to a large middle finger pointed in the direction of the State Fair folks who refused to consider moving the fair to the Lancaster County Events Center. I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with.

Shouldn’t that be Super “Un-Fair”.  Just like the State Fair it’s still overpriced.  however, I certainly hope that they get a good run and shove it to all those folks at the “State” fair who didn’t want to make the move and share a little space.

Overpriced? It’s free!

Or do you mean all the stuff once you get in the door? I can’t speak for the midway since I didn’t get over there—I never would have gotten Robbie out—but the vendors were all priced typically for that sort of event. Except the Kiwanis (I think?) tent, which was very cheap.

Yes I was talking about the “other” stuff.  Which seemed to be a little overpriced.

But, don’t you think that when they go to the “super fair” that they will start charging an admittance fee???
