Marion County Fairgrounds & Event Center

Good time with the family. 99 degrees in a facemask is rough though!!! Need more seating and more shade areas. No where to escape. I recommend going before 6pm because then it gets packed and too wild for the kids.

The grounds are nice enough. I went on the afternoon of opening day this year so there weren't many people there. Everyone was masked up although many weren't covering their faces, rather masks were around necks. It was nice to have somewhere to go, but there just isn't much to this years fair. Carnies, rides, and fair food is all.

I was here this past weekend for the Collective. It was a nice older coliseum with plenty of room for social distancing.

This year was the worst year I’ve ever been and I go a couple times a year ! All the ride workers and ticket booth workers were rude even to my 12 year old daughter! The only thing I can say is the food workers were extremely nice and the food was good! Everything else was ridiculous this year! I bought my daughter a bracelet and she only got to ride one ride because everyone was cutting her in line and we had to wait an hour just to ride that one and no one was doing anything about it! NEVER AGAIN!!!

Went to a gun show there. Good security. Clean facility's.
