It is a Thursday-Sunday event. In recent years, we've opted to take the kids on Saturday morning, right when the place opens at 11am. This has worked for a few reasons: it's typically good timing for the kids, the rides are half price and it isn't jam-packed with people. This year, my niece told me she was going to go on Friday evening. So hubby and I discussed and figured, why not change it up? We still went early. It opens at 5pm and we were there around 5:20. We stayed longer than we expected to and still were home by 9. Maybe next year, we can hang for the 9:30 fireworks?!
Anyway, we still had a blast and the only downside was no half-priced tickets so we spent more than necessary on rides. HOWEVER, I had a brainstorm to pack dinner for the kids (and myself)...BEST IDEA EVER! They rarely eat food in that type of environment but the PBJ, goldfish and yogurt I brought worked out to be the perfect refuel. And we still got to have funnel cake before leaving!
I managed to catch a few photos, including my great nephew Ben (while he is indeed a great kid, he is literally my great nephew-aren't I too young for that?). Can't wait to see what other fairs pop up this summer!

There is a fair this weekend at the Granite Run mall! And strawberries are ripe for picking at Linvilla! We picked 10 pounds last week! Love this time of year!
Fun! We tend to avoid a lot of those still but it looks like you guys had a great time.
