Canfield Fair Preview

For some people, cinnamon rolls, ice-cold lemon shakes and sausage sandwiches are the best part of the Canfield Fair. For others, it’s the close-knit community of Junior Fair. Carnival rides are the top attraction for some fairgoers, while others come to see the farm animals. This year, fair leaders are making it all about another aspect of the 172-year-old Mahoning Valley tradition: You. “This year’s theme is, ‘You are the Canfield Fair,’” said fair board President Dave Dickey, at a media event previewing the fair Tuesday. “Whether you like the horses, whether you like the demonstrations, whether you like the tractor pull – you make the Canfield Fair.”
