According to a fair organizer, one of the best ways to understand the Columbiana County Fair is through its three levels of midway that fit with the natural elevation of the property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lowest level is where most of the animals are kept, so head there if you\u2019d like to check out the horses, cows, goats, and other furry friends on exhibit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second level has the most variety of attractions. It includes the arts, crafts, and plant exhibits on one end, the grandstand on the other, and most of the food vendors. The Junior Fair and the commercial vendor building are also located on this level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The upper level is where you\u2019ll find rides and games as well as free musical entertainment at the midway stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

History and Historical Attractions <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nResidents of Columbiana County originally met in 1845 to organize a fair and in 1853 the current fairgrounds were purchased (though they\u2019ve been expanded several times since then). In some of the earliest days people would travel to the fair on wagons which they would park around the racetrack for the day. The fair\u2019s motto \u201cWheel on Down\u201d is likely a reference to this early practice. The fair has had a rich history over nearly 180 years of existence which has included various land acquisitions, building renovations, and constructions. The fair\u2019s website has a detailed page on the fair\u2019s history<\/a>, and the fair itself has a few attractions perfect for all the history fans out there! <\/p>\n\n\n\nItems of Yesteryear Museum <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAs we\u2019ve mentioned in other blog posts, Columbiana County has a wealth of fascinating history<\/a>.

The building is the perfect place to take in history but it\u2019s also a great place to relax and rest as its large porch welcomes people to \u201csit for a spell.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\nAntique Machinery Display <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAntique tractors and other various antique items will be displayed, giving a look at the agricultural technology of yesteryear.

History and Historical Attractions <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nResidents of Columbiana County originally met in 1845 to organize a fair and in 1853 the current fairgrounds were purchased (though they\u2019ve been expanded several times since then). In some of the earliest days people would travel to the fair on wagons which they would park around the racetrack for the day. The fair\u2019s motto \u201cWheel on Down\u201d is likely a reference to this early practice. The fair has had a rich history over nearly 180 years of existence which has included various land acquisitions, building renovations, and constructions. The fair\u2019s website has a detailed page on the fair\u2019s history<\/a>, and the fair itself has a few attractions perfect for all the history fans out there! <\/p>\n\n\n\nItems of Yesteryear Museum <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAs we\u2019ve mentioned in other blog posts, Columbiana County has a wealth of fascinating history<\/a>. If you\u2019re interested in the past – specifically old artifacts – be sure to stop by the \u201cItems of Yesteryear Museum\u201d at the fairgrounds. The building is the perfect place to take in history but it\u2019s also a great place to relax and rest as its large porch welcomes people to \u201csit for a spell.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\nAntique Machinery Display <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAntique tractors and other various antique items will be displayed, giving a look at the agricultural technology of yesteryear. This display is located near the entrance to the fair right near the Vista gate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
