Part 1: OH County Fairs Trilogy

Summer is upon us! What better way to celebrate than to attend as many outings and events as possible. Some events are done through festivals, markets, or seasonal activities though none are as popular with various activities like Fairs! We will do a monthly update with our local county fairs over the next 3 months.
