Ton of empty lots in KY now...county fair season is all but done here. There are only a couple of fairs that go on during or after the state fair....

you should come across the carolinas. plenty of them here now.[:D][:D]lol
Sounds like a fun trip. Ryan and I did a similar trip back in 2004, hitting the Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois state fair's along with the fair in Crown Point, Indiana and the fair in Mooreland, Indiana. Mooreland was interesting, we saw a brochure advertising it on the way to Ohio and on the way back decided to try and find it; after driving for miles through nothing but farm fields, we crested the top of a hill and suddenly saw a Sky Wheel standing tall in the middle of a field, it was Poor Jack Amusements, and the fair was jammed, on a Wednesday afternoon no less, one (blinking) stop light town, too.

We stopped in Germantown KY and visited Casey's Rides on Friday night before heading to Columbus. They were JAMMED up.

We left Columbus too late to swing by any other Ohio spots, although we did take a few exits looking for some fairgrounds that had signs right on the interstate LOL. JohnC can fill u in on that.
Did you guys get a chance to stop anywhere else along the way???

No Illusion on the joints in Ohio...Those numbers have steadily gone down for years. Last year there was more joints in Kiddieland than there was out on the main midway.



Same this year. Most of the joints were on kiddieland, with a few on the main midway and even then only about 1/4 way down the main midway.

It was the first weekend...but we spoke briefly with a guy at the customer service booth on the NAME midway and he said it had been fairly slow...

They had a solid crowd in there on the grounds tho...
