For many, the fair is just about being with family and friends.

“I think it’s family time. If you look around, everyone’s connected; they’re sticking around as a unit. And that’s what I think it should be,” said Omar Glaster.

“It’s definitely family time. We brought her when she was like four years old, and we would take her to see the animals. She’d be excited,” said Adriane Fairchild. “But also, now that she’s older, she can ride the rides now. Like we’re seeing her grow up now and have fun.”

Fair officials tell CBS13 they have had two arrests so far, but no major problems.
