James E Ward Agricultural Center

"All the rides were fun and especially the zipper it was so much fun and food there is great but expensive but overall it was a great experience to be here."

"State show... Organized and ready for the event that was going on. Bathrooms were clean for the women's room, not sure about the men's. There are plenty of food trucks to choose from."

"Greatest Fair Ever. Clean, well kept. Prices are getting out of control but guess that’s the new normal."

"I want to give them 5* because we enjoyed the event so much. The reason only 3* is for a few reasons. There were no signs viewable as to where the event's location was. When we pulled in, the man guiding people told us to follow people ahead and to park there. He never asked us what event we were there for. We did.m follow and park. We were not aware they had multiple events happening at the same time. We went in front door. We saw a sign with 3 events listed. None, of which, was the event we came for. We asked for location and were told around the corner of the building. It was NOT. A SR CITIZEN should not be treated as if it were a hop and a skip away. We should have been informed to drive to other location, as it was like over a half mile walk, maybe 3/4. This may be ok for a teenager, but not for a disabled person. We stopped several times. I was not sure we were even going to make it. After arriving, we sat immediately. The bleachers are hard on people with back injuries, so we stood. It put SUCH a damper in our day. We complained about no signs. The response was that the signs were stolen. Maybe they were. But the man guiding traffic, and the ladies inside the front door, could have helped by telling us, in detail, and to DRIVE. It really took away from what was going to be a glorious day !"

"What's up with Samia Saber's review?! 2 stars, but you "will them to plant your garden"?! Seems like THAT kind of sentiment would rate at LEAST four stars! Or are you just okay letting any pair of overalls take charge of your crops? Me, personally, I would take a great deal of care and pride in selecting my successor in the provision of my family's food and survival! On that note, you are right on the money with the good folks at the James E Ward Agricultural center. I have no doubt that if they were to suddenly take charge of my sowing, planting AND harvesting, I would be pooping in high cotton indeed! This is because I would expect them to handle those duties with the same care and attention that they pay to the cleanliness and professionalism of all the good folks that work there! I have NEVER come away from this facility with anything less than total amazement in the efficiency and meticulous detail that is afforded all aspects of the machine that runs to serve the public in all the center's endeavors! I have been to gun shows, swap meets and rodeos.....to say NOTHING of the fabulous state fair that is hosted there every year....at this same place for lo these past eleven years and EVERY time I think how lucky we are to have such a place afforded to us, the good people of Lebanon and it's surrounding areas! I only regret that five stars are the most I can give. I love you, James E Ward Agricultural center, I I want the world to know it!!"
