Take a trip down memory lane with Tony as he sits down with current 4-H queen, Sarah DeLucia, and former queen, Dawn Dickey.

Dawn and Sarah compare their years as queen and share their love for 4-H and how they have grown because of the program and the fair.

The concession business tends to be a family affair and D&E Lemonade is no exception. In this episode Tony catches up with Mary Mann, who has taken over the business from her grandparents. Check out a visual history of the Mann family and the Canfield Fair on our website www.canfieldfair.com

Cotton Candy and Candy Apples are Fair staples and the Bunts Family has been making these delicious treats up and down the East Coast for many years.  As we prepare for the Taste of the Fair event May 15-16 we catch up with Barry for all the scoop on why Canfield is his favorite Fair.

Plus, we find out whether or not it's possible to steal a hot tub from the Canfield Fair. 

There's lots of hidden treasures at the Canfield Fair. As we celebrate 175 years we are talking with some of the vendors that make the Fair so special. You'll never know what you'll find under the Grandstand, especially when you visit Illiana Products owned by Darlene Brakebush.
