Scheduled entertainment throughout the weekend includes NTPA Tractor Pull on Friday night, Combine Derby/Pick-up Truck Derby Saturday night and Demolition Derby on Sunday night. If your looking for something a little different, there is a full schedule of entertainment all day, each day. Entertainment includes livestock auctions, pie and cookie baking contests, live music, fiddle contest, motocross racing and much more. And don't forget to stop by our booth in building 23 to ask for your copy of the Lake Erie Access Guide! Here are some scenes from our visit to the Fair today.

It's Lorain County Fair Week!

Yummy, Yummy Fair Week...elephant ears, cotton candy, caramel apples! In addition to the fair staples, the Lorain County Fair is actually a great way to sample some of Lorain County's restaurants. Bread N Brew, Mama Jo's Pies, Midway Oh-Boy, and others are on hand to show you their specialties.
