They have some good shows hopefully in the future it will start getting better again
Good family fun and delicious ice cream! Farm animals, Demolition Derby and Tractor pull all offered for the public's entertainment.
Very different from when I was growing up. A lot smaller than usual and not much for older children to do. Was also put on by the same ride company that had the fatality in Illinois, so we would not let our kids on the rides or near certain ones when they were operating. Best part was seeing the animals.
The 4-H, dairy, garden and maple areas are entertaining if you're into that sort of thing but the rides, food and just about everything else is a hard pass. 6 bucks to go on a pretty small ferris wheel!
Had a lovely time and met some friends I have not seen in 20+/- years. Everything was clean and we'll spaced. Loved to watch the Chain Saw Sculptures. And very excited to see fiber arts returned to the farm museum. Lots of educational exhibits and learnt from the Maple Sugar Shack that 'Maple Syrup is a health food!'
It changes so much year to year that you never know what to expect, much less if the entrance fee will be worth it. Some years you can literally walk through the place in 5 minutes and be done. The rides normally suck with only a few to choose from and the games are crazy expensive with hard to win cheap prizes. I like the buildings they have set up for business to set up and I like the food some of the vendors have too. The grandstands are covered but you have to pay to get in them after you already paid to get into the actual fair. It costs a lot just to get in and then to pay for the stands. It's just to expensive with nothing much to offer for all that you pay because nothing is really free inside.
2016 fair was very enjoyable. We hope the agricultural section increases in size. Overall excellent job! American Amusements gets a big thumbs up too!
Me and my roommates had a great time.
Much better than last year! Good to see the fair might be making a come back!
The fair was a lot better last year! A lot of food and games. Plus a bunch of rides i am impressed
Many memoriesfor the 59 yrs of my life at the Vermont state fair in Rutland !!!
The host of various events. Can be pricey but what is the cost of having fun?
