Toth expressed gratitude to local Gambier resident Aly Giles for sharing a photo that was selected for the guide's cover. The image captures her daughters enjoying the fair, representing "the ultimate image of summer fun."
Known for its agricultural heritage and family-friendly environment, the Knox County Fair offers various activities suitable for all ages. Attractions include livestock shows, agricultural exhibits, rides, food, and live entertainment.
"The Knox County Fair truly embodies the spirit of Ohio's summer celebrations," Toth added. She hopes that this exposure will introduce more visitors to what Knox County has to offer.
