Fairgrounds Become Satellite Site for Local Restaurateurs
Lorain County Fair draws cooks from Midway Oh Boy, Hershey's Ice Cream and More, Lorenzo's Pizzeria, and Rotuno's Texas Style Barbeque to boost visibility. Kim Disbrow notes many patrons assume vendors stay only at the fair, though they also operate year round. Midway Oh Boy has appeared at the fair for 26 years, with Dave Disbrow detailing signature burgers on a flattop grill and served with lettuce and condiments.
