Today we dropped into the Guilford Fair Grounds for the first annual Baconfest. This was our first time coming to the fair grounds and were were surprised to see how many people showed up. This little fair ground was a little tough to find but overall it was a nice little area. The fair ground itself had a few different historic buildings as well as a baseball field. The issue that we had in coming to this location was around parking. The site itself has limited parking and they way people were driving in the lot was chaotic and dangerous. In the end it took us 10 minutes to park after pulling in because people were trying to get in as well as out at the same time. The Baconfest itself was ok, but it was really lacking. We know that they host their annual fair here in a week so we will have to stop back in to see if the experience is different with this event. read more
