The fair was a marvel of construction, planning and architecture for the day. Never had anything on that scale, in the time frame that was given, been attempted.

Olmstead landscaped the whole site, with construction going on, in a period of months. The construction effort suffered many setbacks and disasters, with the wind and rain destroying many buildings as they were being built. They built the fair in these trying conditions, with labor problems, it was a miracle.

When I came back to the Fairgrounds two days later and it turned out that it was still sort of clean (I came during the middle of the day around 3). It turned out that the entire group of people that I had worked with that monday had all spent time before the fair everyday, to pick up the ground.

Many people don 't know where Croton Ohio is because it is a small village and not much happens there, once a year the small town that I grew up in is heavily traveled by fair goers. Croton is better known as Hartford, because the Hartford fair is located there, Hartford is the name of the township in which it is located in the North West corner of Licking County. The township i grew up in was the one neighboring to the East.

Overall the most meaningful about my fair is that the community not only comes together,

When you walk into the fair from the entrance you can see the dirt in the air. The smell of the popcorn is like a peaceful smell. The sound of tractors is loud and it kind of sounds like a buzzing bee. The feel of the dust on my face makes me feel sticky. Also, the taste of my walking taco is delicious every bite. I had to throw the football into 3 hoops and I missed. I was mad because if I got all 3 footballs in the 3 hoops I would’ve got a football jersey!

I have been to the Pecan Festival at St.Rita for ten years now. I went to my first Pecan Fest when I was only two years old and I probably just ran around and did not go on any rides. But when I was little, my favorite part of the Pecan Festival was the games in the courtyard.

Sitting down waiting for it to start. Looking around at everyone, trying to see if I knew anyone. As it started, we all just sat there and enjoyed the show. Bulls running, horses running and sometimes people screaming. Laughing with my family was the best part when being there.

I do so miss going to the Holly Day Fair! Back In The Day, our group of Fair goers consisted of MyMama (Rosa), Aunt Dixie, Mama (Martha Lou), & Myself! Years passed, our Quartet became a Trio, then a Duo! Mama continued to call me every year and plan our visit, even the years that she went multiple times. As many of you know, She liked to go early, on the first day, to shop a little and to "Scope Things Out!" Her fellow shoppers would often include one or more of these Wonderful Ladies: Hazel Brisson, Jettie Willoughby,, Polly Garner, Mona Clark, Anna Faye Johnson, Aunt Irene Brisson, Billie Priest Hall, etc., etc. (Apologies to anyone I failed to mention!) Sadly, Mama doesn't call anymore! No more Holly Day Fair, Cross Creek Mall, Steinmart!
