About 15 or so kiddies including big MGR and Wacky Worm.
One thing that was nice this year was the selection of side shows. We had animal oddity show (like a ten in one) but I am sorry I can't remember the name. They were from out west and had a really nice front end with banners. Nice folks as well.
Had the Giant Steer, Giant Horse, and a nice Wild West Show with live wolves. It was nice seeing some side shows back on the lot.
Some rides missing, not sure down in Texas or gone already (P. Fury, Tilt, Air Raid, Rave).
Talked to a few friends that have grab joints in there and as expected the attendance was way down due to the move in the dates. Friday night was pretty cold with wind, but you could also tell that the indy was not as booked and a lot of "old time vendors" were not there naturally.
Not so sure about this change of dates and if its going to kill the fair or if it will pick up next year.
Everything still looked sharp and in great shape. Lots of talk on the midway, seems just about all the games/food folks are selling out as well, except maybe a few.
Oh and we had a dark ride, fun house, and kiddie bumper boats booked in.
We will see what happens next year, I am hearing it supposed to be NAME coming in, be nice if they could come in before the State Fair in Columbia, I think the weather would be better and maybe get it closer back to the original dates.
