The schedule of events stated that there was to be a "new" ride company out of Hamilton. Unfortunatly, "new" was not anywhere near "better." The rides were extremely old, not working properly, and the games...uh...what games? I am very disappointed with the change in companies and am urging the Arcanum Area Business Association, or whom ever is in charge of this decision, to research the attractions in a more diligent manner for next year.
I was very disappointed with the rides this year. Not only were they old they were expensive. It was a total loss for anyone who actually bought pre-sale ride tickets. I almost didnt even see the game that was there. The petting zoo was nice. For the past several years I have looked forward to ofd almost as much as I do the Fair. It has been said that the Mayor doesnt want rides at ofd anymore. Well he better get ready for the chaos. With nothing to do bored teens will just find less favorable things to do. I saw many skateboards confiscated while there saturday due to boredom. And Seriously did they need 20 plus food vendors?
From what I've heard, the Arcanum Area Buisness Association. But have only found one person who actually belongs. I also hear the Mayor did have something to do with the "new" ride & game vendors??
