Fair food: So much food, so little time!
Try as I might I couldn’t fit all the fair food I wanted to try into one week. (I’m sure my scale is grateful for that!) I had hoped to grab a few final things to go when I left the fair Sunday evening. But after barely surviving my first demolition derby (and being pelted [...]
Check out the coolest Lorain County Fair photo ever
If you love the Lorain County Fair, you absolutely MUST check out this photo. Click here. It’s a 360-degree panoramic photo taken by my longtime friend and Chronicle freelance photographer David Richard. Richard has special equipment to take these types of photos, and he normally uses it to take these sorts of photos of Major [...]
Fair food: Fried veggies
In a hurry Sunday afternoon, I grabbed an old favorite festival food of mine: fried veggies. I think I have probably eaten fried veggies at just about every fair or festival around Lorain County at some point over the years. In my head, the fact that I’m eating vegetables cancels out the fact that I’m [...]
Sunday afternoon on the Lorain County Fair midway
A colder and overcast final day for the Lorain County Fair didn’t seem to affect fairgoers’ enthusiasm. The midway was packed Sunday afternoon even as dreary skies and wind made riding the rides a chilly proposition. Attendance numbers would tell the real story, though, as Lorain County Fair 2009 saw the second-lowest attendance since the [...]
Fair food: Walking taco
I passed the booth with a big sign advertising a “walking taco” a few times before I just had to see what it was. It seems walking tacos are a food that’s familiar to most frequent fairgoers but virtually unheard of to the rest of us. There are a few variations, but the concept is [...]

Here are the rest of the results for champion animals: [...]

Fair food: Wellington band doughnuts
Just about everyone I talked to at the fair told me I couldn’t leave without taking a dozen of the famous Wellington band doughnuts home with me. I decided I had to see what all the fuss was about. “Your doughnuts are legendary,” I greeted band director Toni Novotny when she emerged from the back [...]
