Want to impress your friends with some Ohio State Fair trivia?

Posted on 6:41 AM by Unknown

Want to impress your friends with some Ohio State Fair trivia? Try out the fun facts below - they'll be more than impressed with what you know!

-There are 105 steps to the top of the Giant Slide. Approximately 1,500 fairgoers ride the slide every hour, at an average speed of 15 miles per hour. There are also 98 cars on the For SkyGlider, averaging 1,800 riders per hour. Both rides have been at the Fair since 1969.

-Every year, farmers in Ohio produce 7.1 billion eggs, 274 million pounds of chicken, 5.2 million turkeys, 500

million pounds of beef, 966 million pounds of pork, 1.2 million pounds of lamb and 600 million gallons of milk. They also exhibit enough livestock that if you formed an Olympic team out of all the animals, it would outnumber the United States 10-1.

-The Celeste Center and Ohio State Fair Grandstand have brought in some big name entertainers over the years. Bob Hope has given the most performances with 15 shows between 1966 and 1991. The Oak Ridge Boys performed for 13 years, and Johnny Cash performed for 10. Recently, Rascal Flatts has been climbing the list, this year being their sixth Ohio State Fair performance since 2002.

Congratulations, you are now an Ohio State Fair trivia pro. Get out there and show off!
