Is the Ohio State Fair one of the largest state fairs in the United States?”
The Ohio State Fair is one of the largest state fairs in the United States. In 2006 the attendance was 814,512, up 12,000 from 2005. The state fair contributes as much as 280 million dollars to the state economy. It is held in early August in Columbus, Ohio. From the very first 3-day fair in 1850 in Cincinnati to the 11-day exposition of today (At one time the fair lasted 17 days), the Ohio State Fair has celebrated Ohio’s products, its people and their accomplishments for more than 150 years. Minnesota State Fair is the state fair of the U.S. state of Minnesota. It has been marketed for generations as “The Great Minnesota Get-Together.” It may be the largest state fair in the United States in terms of average daily attendance, though the State Fair of Texas runs twice as long and is the largest by annual attendance.
