Frequently Asked Questions
Here at the Van Wert County Fairgrounds, dogs are allowed to be walked on the grounds while no events are taking place as long as they are kept on a leash, have good behavior, and picked up after. This rule applies to our campers as well.
Please know that this is a strict policy and failure to comply will result in prosecution. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
We could go on and on! Prepare yourself for delicious fair food like fries, funnel cakes, lemon shakeups, hot dogs, burgers, bbq, ice cream and more! Follow our Facebook page during Fair week to see what is on the grounds or better yet, come to the Fair and explore for yourself!
