Trumbull Fair, a showcase of creative skills, opens Tuesday for six-day run

BAZETTA

From opening day on Tuesday to the final fireworks July 19, the Trumbull County Fair does more than entertain.

It’s also a “showcase for the creative skills of people of all ages,” according to the fair board.

For example, just after the opening ceremony at noon Tuesday, the flower show opens in the flower barn. And the flower, culinary arts, domestic arts, fine arts and photography exhibits don’t close until late the last day, just before the fireworks at about 9:30 p.m.

Of course, it’s the county’s foremost agricultural exhibition, a place to eat, socialize, ride rides, and watch musical performances and motor events like tractor pulls.

The Trumbull County Fair, located at the corner of Everett Hull and Bazetta Roads, doesn’t change much from year to year, acknowledged Brenda Richmond, the fair’s financial secretary.

But, “We are still, I feel, the best price out there — $8 for everything but food, including mechanical rides and grandstand,” she said. Senior citizens over age 62 pay $4, and children 24 months and under are free.
