“Forever Fair-tastic”! I took a couple of weeks away from producing my radio show, part-time job, and on-going job search to work as a Ticket Seller at the Ohio State Fair this year.
On the twelfth and final day of the Ohio State Fair, I said my good-byes to the few new people that I met (that survived the whole twelve days), plus visited the Camel, and saluted the B*ckeyes. There were no discounts, no daily parade (since both the Choir and Marching Band had already packed up and headed back to all four corners of the State), no re-entry, and the gates closed at 6 (to give people at least two hours to enjoy the Fair). Attendance was up only because the weather was near-perfect all 12 days of the Fair with little to no rain during those days. Ohio had a whole lot to showcase, from tourism, to agriculture, to local brews and wines, which are more meaningful in their weight than the rides, deep fried food, and the Giant Slide (which I didn’t get to do my impersonation of Dwayne Haskins’ NFL career).
