Fulton County Fair Named “Best Fair in Ohio” by Greater Ohio Showmen’s Association

The Fulton County Fair is proud to announce that it has been recognized as the Best Fair in Ohio by the Greater Ohio Showmen’s Association (GOSA). The award was presented on Saturday, March 29, and celebrates the Fair’s outstanding success, community impact, and continued excellence in the 2024 season.

Despite facing significant logistical challenges just days before opening, the 2024 Fulton County Fair achieved a record-breaking year with over 335,000 visitors, making it the most attended county fair in Ohio.

“This recognition is a tremendous honor for our board, our volunteers, and our entire fair community,” said Ron Rice, Fair Board President. “It’s a testament to the dedication, teamwork, and support we’re fortunate to receive year after year.”

The Fulton County Fair Board extends its sincere appreciation to Trent Bair of Bair’s Concessions for nominating the fair and for presenting the award during the GOSA ceremony.

The Fulton County Fair returns August 29 – September 4, 2025 — and we look forward to welcoming everyone back to the Best Fair in Ohio!
