It seems like fairs all over the country are struggling. There has been one in my area of California for decades that recently folded... And some quick research shows that attendance has been falling pretty much all over.

So, like just about everything else in the fast-paced information age, fairs have to adapt to survive.

The OK State Fair only runs less than two weeks a year and the fairgrounds has to come up with other things to justify investment. Seems like they've been doing a good job of that while still maintaining most of what we have all come to expect during the state fair run.
