"I drove over five hours to go to this fair. Had a hard time finding the correct place as to where it was being held even with a GPS. Once my husband and I found the entrance way, then finding a place to park, which ended up costing $40.00 in a dusty place and the cars were packed like sardines. Then we had to walk a long ways to get to the gate to get in. Checked my handbag and my husband paid for us to get in. I was very disappointed the entire time. There were so many people my husband and I had to walk or shuffle single file, with me hanging on the back of his belt. This was the entire time we were there. Tons of buggies, bumping into you, plus the children that should have been in the buggies were running around, which I am surprised some weren't turned into lost and found. We could not walk side by side to even come to enjoy any part of the fair. There was nothing for adults to do and enjoy. Which we both were so disappointed. All we saw were the rides for kids, places to spend your money on winning a stuffed animal, and the places that were selling food had lines which looked like a mile long. Most of the fairs I have attended had beautiful horses with wagons offering rides, tractor pulls, animals that were raised by young adults being showed, etc. The guide was so confusing if you found a number, you had to search a different part to see what it was. The map should have at least had arrows to show you the directions you were going. Instead you were constantly being moved around with the crowd and being bumped into with buggies. The entire fair was such a let down. Should have been better arranged and a totally different part that adults could enjoy and stay away from all of the rides and booths. We didn't even stay more then a couple of hours, such a big disappointment, long drive, costs to park, costs to get in and then of course the costs of food if you wanted to stand in line for a long time. I am sure the fair made a ton of money and that is what was important, never mind how anyone could possibly enjoying being pushed or shuffled around by the crowd. Will never go back and I would never recommend this as a fair to go to."
