Although not the final copy – the Free Entertainment Schedule has been updated. There will be a few additions – but it’s mostly there! free_entertainment_schedule

New this year, we will have an electronic scoreboard during our Friday night NTPA Tractor Pull. You can advertise your business logo on it, and it will run continuously throughout the night, for a sponsorship of $250. Call the Fair office at (440) 647-2781 and ask for Charisse if you are interested in promoting your business on this new scoreboard!!

Sponsorship is a great way to advertise your business, support your county fair, and reach a wide variety of people and ages. Our attendance at the 2012 fair was more than 150,000! There are many sponsorship packages available starting at just $100. Check out our packages on the sponsors page of this website by downloading the sponsorship form.

For your convenience, new this year, we will be taking credit/debit cards at Gates 1, 3, 4, and 6. At those gates, there will be one window marked for credit/debit card sales, and the remaining window(s) will be marked “Cash Only”.
