The fairgrounds are fine but dont waste your money on The Drive movie theater. You have to buy tickets through Ticketmaster, so you end up paying a ridiculous amount of money to go to a pop up, makeshift drive in movie theater. Once they have your money, they no longer provide any customer service. We were instructed to park in a certain spot but couldnt see the screen. When we asked to move, they said no, so we went specifically to see a movie that we couldnt see. There were very few cars in the lot, so it wouldnt have been an issue. They wouldnt resolve the issue on site so I have asked for some type of resolution and they have said theres nothing they can do. Thats not true. If you run a business, you can always come to a resolution with customers.

This Hotel is Top Notch, all the staff-great, the room- Wonderful, the Restaurant- Super. And for the price, compared to Hotels with less features, a Bargain, in my view. And with the AKC Dog Show being held next door, cant tell you how convenient it was. And did you know, pet friendly, cant wait until next Show

This fair is wonderful. Me and my family used to attend regularly when I was very young. Now I want to bring my children back. It seems the virus has shut us all down. Really looking forward to having fun at the fair this summer. Please open back up. After this virus. The world will need some fun, excitement, a vacation. Yahoo!!!!!!

Attended for the Bridal show. It was nice and the group attendant helped find me a parking space close to the entrance. I am wearing an orthopedic boot and that was so nice of him!

Super clean fairgrounds! Wished that I could hire those people who cleaned it! I think they own a sweeper truck business!

The bathrooms were super nasty!!! I hated to go in them, better yet having to take my child in there to use them. With such a big event (Jurassic Quest) especially centered around children, I would have expected the facility to be kept up better!

We went for the Archery tournament. Of course on the day that we went it was cold and pouring rain. I didnt get to see much, just one building where the archery tournament was actually being held. It was pretty good. I like watching how they do their Flights with the archers. The rain kept us from seeing all of the Fairgrounds.

Great unload team. Only issue is it appears emany drivers were booked at the same appointment time. But that is not the fault of the unload location.

Family oriented. Lots of rides for the tots to the grown ups. Lots of delicious foods and varieties of it . A little pricey on the food but its the fair so splurge a little. I think its getting ridiculous to pay outrageous prices to park. 10 dollars is to much and then you have to pay to get into fair. Its starting to be all about the money and its getting to the point where a lot of people cannot afford it. A fair should be affordable so everyone from the poor to the rich can enjoy.

We attended the C&E Gun Show. Parking areas are free, plentiful and within a short walking distance to the entrance. Admission is fair ($9...$8 with the coupon, kids under 12 are free with an adult). Tickets are cash only and available attentive the door. The building was mostly full as far as vendors go. There are plenty of choices for guns, knifes, ammo, reloading supplies, etc. Most vendors were friendly and attentive, although we did find one (I forgot to get the name of the vendor) whose table we went two twice, once to browse and the second time to make a purchase. Both times we were there no one acknowledged our presence, so we made our purchase elsewhere.

I went here for the C&E Gun Show. I am sure on any other day this would have been a great visit so no fault to the fairgrounds because of the weather. It had rained before we got there which made everything messy and muggy. It wasnt hard to follow the signage all the way to the door. Parking lot was easy to navigate and get in and out of, but that is basing the visit on just one event that was going on.

Not sure how any other events are but the Iheartmedia Christmas show was the most horribly staffed and coordinated event, I have ever had the displeasure of attending as a vendor!

Neat place... lots of varying buildings & event venues... been around a while by the looks of them... Forsythe Gem Show had tons of jewelry, gems & Crystals, fossils, shark teeth. Himalayan Pink Salt lamps.... spend $1 - $6k.... something for everyone.1st weekend in Sept.

Went there for a gun show and seen a great variety of guns, knives, and accessories. Some of the items were cheaper than than in a store price. I plan on going again. Some of the stuff was made in the USA some of it was Chinese so ask before you buy if you are picky about country of origin.
