Fair Tips

• Be kind to your pet companions (i.e., dogs), and leave them in the comforts of their own home.
• Dress comfortably, put on some sunscreen, perhaps wear a hat to protect yourself from the sun.
• Wear shoes you feel comfortable strolling in. The festival covers several city blocks, so you’ll be walking a lot.
• Consider backpacking children. Strollers take up more space and are difficult to navigate through crowds. Enjoy the kids events area in the plaza.
• Bring along cash. Not everyone takes credit cards.
• Think about your holiday shopping when browsing the arts and crafts booths. Festivals offer unique gifts you can stash away until December.
