- We have been attending for 40-plus years. We love all the exhibits in the Dover Building. I used to compete in veggies from the Garden and Culinary departments. Seeing the hard work by the 4-H children is so magical. Hubby and I always get a Collins Root Beer. Delicious. The parade. The tractors, old and new. All the livestock competition. Food, food, food. What else? But we just enjoy it. And we always support the Grange and their fried chicken. Delicious. — Denise Sloboda Deskiewicz
- Memories! — Jeanette Bell
- When it leaves town. — Neil Gallagher
- Some great concerts, but I don’t go anymore. It’s always sweltering. Gave away tickets once because it was just way too hot to even go. — Janet Vance Stolp
- Farm equipment. — Diane Butters-Eastburn
- Remember when opening day used to be free for families? — Bob Hice
- Yes, indeed, and should still be that way! — Lisa White
