The fair was fine but unfortunately the worker(s) have NO sense of direction and sent me on n hour long wild goose chase to find my way to gate 8 to catch the bus to my car.

Too crowded and way overpriced for a fair. Vendors are charging too much due to what they are being charged to be there. Do better fair administer

There is free parking and they will trolley you from parking lot. Excellent food and ride vendors.
