I read where the Michigan State Fair was cancelled, their numbers had been dropping and the state could no longer subsidize them. The article gave numbers for other fairs in adjacent states.
The numbers made me curious so I looked at our county fairs numbers as well as our state fairs numbers. Our county fair had 1,338,500 visitors this year, our state fair had 741,189, our county fair had close to 600,000 more people than our state fair.
Our state fair changed the dates for the fair to a month earlier this year since attendance had been dropping (this is mostly due to the school years starting earlier and earlier each year) They saw an increase in attendance.
So how big is your county fair and your state fair?
