Wonderment abound!…read more One of my favorite books as a child was 'Around The World In 80 Days.' It created an obsession with the thought of riding a hot air ballon - drifting through the clouds, flying high above the world, alone with my thoughts, admiring the splendor of world around me. I was slightly delusional!! In reality hot air ballooning is HARD work! Don't get me wrong, all the beauty of my fantasy was certainly possible (though I never got to find out due to unstable winds), but I never knew that amount of precision, brute strength, and sheer luck that ballooning requires. The experience was worth it all the same, but here are some pieces of advice for those ballooning novices (like me) to make the most of your balloon adventure: 1. Get there SUPER early! The first flight is usually around dawn, I suggest you get there far in advance to ensure you find parking and call dibs on a good pilot. Around 5 am is a safe bet. 2. Bundle up - by that I mean dress like its the dead of winter. Temperatures on the ground will be cold enough, once you get up to higher altitudes in the balloon ... fogetaboutit! Freezing! 3. Realistic expectations - keep in mind that that flying is all about the winds/ weather. If they are not in your favor you'll be grounded. If you are grounded, like I was, you'll still have a fabulous time at the festival. There is so much to do and see. My favorite part was admiring all the filled balloons and the lighting ceremony.

Had a great time at this fair. They had so many animals and rides. The maple syrup ice cream was…read morethe most incredible ice cream. We went during the beef day and the beef sundae was really cool and delicious. Also went to the rolled ice cream stand, egg rolls, gyros, crepes and the drink tent as well.

I was impressed with the organization of both the parking and the selling of admission tickets. Lines moved fast with little wait time. There was the usually variety of foods and I was pleasantly pleased with some of the prices. A corn dog, nachos and a large drink was 10.00. The tractor pull is quite a popular event but there is ample sitting and they even sell ear plugs. I suggest you bring your own. The maple barn was a delight with many maple delicacies to choose from. I'm a little too old for rides so you will have to go to the fair and try those out for yourself!!

I've been in this business for 30 years. I've done business in Southern PA, Maryland, California, New Jersey, Rhode Island, East Durham, etc. They intentionally gave us reassurances about costs and requirements which tripled and quadrupled while cutting off our access. If this place doesn't want you, they are not subtle about it. Your local Burger King may have a kid's playground. May I suggest having your event there rather than trying to deal with the intentionally l-evasive staff, who will work hard to make it impossible for you to even know your requirements, will change them months after and essentially destroy most of your work. i have worked with or tried to work with as many local venues as possible. The last time I had an experience like this, the Meadowlands guy, who had a thick ruby ring and did not know the event business, said, "Good price, eh? You gotta double it for all our workers. We didn't want to mention it until you looked hook." If these are good, honest people, they've decided to save all of that for someone else, We keep quoting direct documentary evidence and the town keeps just ignoring it - why not? They have all the power, none of the honest.
