You don't have to go far to find a great pumpkin this year at the Ohio State Fair. A pumpkin was weighed in today at the first ever Pumpkin Weigh-Off at the Ohio State Fair that tipped the scales at 1056.5 pounds! Owned by Alan Gibson, this giant gourd weighs as much as a market steer! Be sure to stop by the Ag & Hort Building for the last two days of the Fair to see this gigantic gourd!--Agriculture A...

At any given moment here at the Fair, you're bound to run into a State Highway Patrol officer. I have already spent over 5 full days here at the Fair this year, and any time I walk outside or into an exhibit building, I can usually count at least 3 to 4 troopers in the immediate area. Talk about securi...

Congratulations to Sarah Fairchild's "Sweet Corn and Flame Stitch" for winning this years People's Choice Award!Here's an artist Statement from her website: Growing up in a small town in Northwest Ohio, I often helped my mother and grandmother pull weeds and plant seeds. This early exposure to gardening and nature has inspired and informed my work. I am moved by the ordinary forms and objects that surround us - weeds and plants that I observe everyday on the highways and roadsides throughout Ohio, as well as the fence forms and flowers...

So being a Fair food junkie, I LOVE the new Ohio State Fair Food Finder. Although there might be a little bit of nostalgia in hunting around 365 acres on a growling stomach for that one Fair food favorite like you did in the "olden days," I sure don't miss it over the convenience of the Food Finder. It's simple: all you do is text "FOODFIND" to the State Fair's official texting program number, 82672, and they send you a link in a text message to...
I will never forget the feeling. That "It's fair day!" feeling. When I was younger, I would sit anxiously in the family van with wide eyes and a watering mouth, bouncing with anticipation for the rides, the horses, the corndogs and cotton candy; all the while wondering why it was taking so long to park the car!I still get that same feeling today. However, today I am anticipating something even better than candy and corndogs. Today I look forward...

If you're looking for a show that's great for the whole family, you CAN'T miss this one! The Wild About Monkeys show always draws a huge crowd, young or old. By the 1, 3 and 7 p.m. show times, the crowd is usually spilling over the bleacher seats to see this hilarious act, full of comedy, trickery and, well, plain 'ol "monkeying around."The show includes a Baboon, a Capuchin Monkey, a parrot and a dog, all who are animal movie stars, appearing in...

One of my family’s long-standing traditions at the Ohio State Fair is visiting the Natural Resources Park. I love that you can be in the middle of Columbus, and enjoy a little piece of nature at its finest. Every year we like to catch a few great shows in the shaded amphitheater and see all the wildlife. The kids from our crew always love the fishing and had fun the last few years with the new kayak pond. This year I’ve seen the Great Lakes Timber Show and I’m looking forward to the Retriever Dogs in Action! If I ever seem to disappear at the Fair,...
Yesterday as we headed out to the Ohio State Fair with our entire family I was thinking about how much money it would take to keep the kids entertained all day. We knew the admission price and wristbands for the kids to ride all day were a great deal but I found so much more for FREE at the Fair!As we began our adventure through the main gate, I was keeping my eyes open for low-cost and free options for the kids. I didn’t have to look very far! The first building we encountered was the Youth Center and I was impressed to find that they not only...
One of this year's new attractions that I'm really excited about is the Sinbad High Dive show, daily at the south end of the Midway. I've already seen the show three times and I'm still on the edge of my seat when the crew preps for their stunts. The high dives, trick dives, stunts and wacky comedy blend together for a highly entertaining performance. Even better, it's only about half an hour long so it'll keep the kids entertained and give you a break from walking. The shows are at 2, 5:30 and 8 pm so you've got multiple opportunities to catch...
