Supervisor John Rottman says inspectors and vendors share expectations, with 375 degree frying oil, proper refrigeration, and two way cooperation. Vendor Jack Huff notes the fair’s strict checks, calling it a white glove test that keeps standards high. The 150th annual fair opens Monday, runs through Saturday, with rides at 530 pm daily and an armband deal of 12 dollars, 10 dollars on Kids Night.
