I guess as far as State Fairs go, the Ohio State Fair is pretty good. I'm not much of a fair-going person, so I really can't give it too high of a rating.The fair all kinda has that distinct smell of fried food and barns. Again, not my thing. And be warned. Since it's right smack in the middle of the summer it can get really hot and miserable. Especially when you factor in that Ohio humidity. Try to go on a cooler day. I know last summer we had a chain of sunny 80-something degree days when I was there. Not cool; no pun intended. The buildings can be somewhat cool, at least in the fact that there's shade, but most are not air conditioned.
