WELCOME
On behalf of the Medina County Fair Board, our employees, volunteers, and sponsors, we invite you to be a part of the 2012 Medina County Fair. We encourage you to join us as an exhibitor. From the back yard gardener to the local farmer, there's a class for everyone. See if your apple pie is truly the "best" in Medina County!
If you can't join us as an exhibitor, please join us as a guest. Take an evening and enjoy all that the Medina County Fair has to offer. From great music, to Jr. Fair exhibits, it's all here!
Ride a ride, watch a demo derby, see an animal show, or simply sit under a shade tree and visit with old friends. There's something for everyone! With all the great food, we know you won't leave hungry!
See you at the Great Medina County Fair!
Chuck Stiver, President
