Fair management says the weather has had a good impact on attendance.
"And we have seen that impact in our attendance numbers. Normally Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are historically our slowest days of our 9 days of the fair, but we haven't seen that. The weather has been fantastic for those days, and the crowds really followed that and came out and supported us really well," explained Troy Elwer, Allen County Fair manager.
On Saturday, the fair will close with the Bear Hollow Wood Carving auction and the demolition derby.
