The Ohio State Fair:
When I say butter cow, what comes to mind? Does that conjure up images of Ferris wheels, funnel cakes, carnival games and corn dogs? What about passing through the gate spelling out the letters O-H-I-O? Perhaps you think of cows and crops or the lumber jack show. The Ohio State fair opens July 27 and has so much to offer! From the giant slide to free entertainment, there is truly something for everyone.
Guests:
