Ohio State Fair sees higher unofficial paid attendance
Unofficial paid attendance for the first three days at the Ohio State Fair is up from last year but below the 1956 record, due in part to a new policy allowing free entry for those with reserved grandstand seats. Total attendance is estimated around 307,000 despite rain and a 60,000 shortfall versus 1956. Roy Rogers shows draw big crowds with $25,000 to the performer and $25,000 plus for the fair from ticket sales through Sunday matinee.
