Illinois State Fair,

Springeld, Aug. 13-22

The Illinois State Fair

drew approximately 701,000

people this year compared to

the 665,000 in 2009.

The weather was hot and

humid, but fair ofcials said

the Stanley Cup, which was

on display at the fair, drew

about 5,000 people alone. The

Chicago Blackhawks won the

National Hockey League title

this past season and put the

trophy on tour.

There were two musi-

cal performances canceled

due to heavy rain during the

fair’s run. Both Lady Antebel-

lum, which was sold out, and

Blondie and Cheap Trick were

canceled.

North American Midway

Entertainment provided the

carnival for the event.

Iowa State Fair,

Des Moines, Aug. 13-22

Hot, humid and rainy

weather along with the slug-

gish economy were all factors

to attendance at the Iowa State

Fair slipping below the one

million mark for the rst time

in nine years.

Fair ofcials posted an un-

audited attendance this year

as 967,381 for the 11-day event.

That compares to 1,006,501

in 2009 and the record of

1,109,150 set in 2008.

There was one day where

a single day attendance

topped 100,000. That was on

the rst Sunday, Aug. 15, of

the fair when 103,085 people

attended.

Highlights at the fair this

year included the new exhib-

its such as Grape Giveaway,

an educational showcase on

FAIRS

Continued from page 43

the growing grape industry

in Iowa, and the Angora Wool

Spinning demonstrations.

The Richard O. Jacobson

Exhibition Center debuted at

the fair this year. The multi-

use facility seats 3,500 and was

used for horse shows and spe-

cial events during the fair.

Belle City Amusements,

Deltona, Fla., elded the mid-

way.

Erie County Fair,

Hamburg, N.Y., Aug. 11-22

The Erie County Fair re-

ported the best attendance

in a decade as 1,022,164 fair-

goers visited the 2010 event.

That represents a 16 percent

increase over 2009 when the

attendance was 864,721.

“I believe there were sev-

eral factors,” said Lou Ann

Delaney, director of public re-

lations and marketing. “Num-

ber one, our weather was per-

fect with high 70s and mid-80s,

and no rain during the day

throughout the fair with the

exception of the last day when

it drizzled.”

Other factors that attrib-

uted to the increase were the

new casino opening on the

grounds. The 66,000-sq.-ft.

center features 939 slot ma-

chines, buffet, sports bar and

several other dining options.

The new 75,000-sq.-ft.

Showplex Equine and Live-

stock arena also debuted dur-

ing the fair.

“We saw an increase in

livestock entries in what we

believe was the result of the

new arena,” Delaney said.

“We also continued with our

kids 12 and under are free

policy, and added another free

concert making it four free

concerts.”

Also added this year was

Tonny Petersen’s Hell Drive

stunt show that was free with

gate admission.

Also this year, over seven

acres were repaved making it

easier for strollers and wheel-

chairs.

James E. Strates Shows,

Orlando, Fla., brought in

roughly 70 rides.

The Wisconsin State Fair, West Allis, experienced a ve per-

cent increase in attendance this year over 2009. The fair at-

tributed the increase, in part, to some of the new exhibits.

Days of the Dinosaur, shown here, was extremely popular.

The attraction took participants back to the Jurassic era.
