The Belmont County Fair has come and gone but Belmont County Fair Board President Ed Campbell celebrated the fair’s success.

Campbell said that, despite the lower than normal attendance on Thursday due to rain, the turnout the rest of the week was fantastic.

He said that the fair brought in several new acts this year.

Campbell said that both the Stone Age Show and The Steamers Thrill Show were new editions and were very well received by attendees. He added that the fair added a new building to host the animals that are being shown but not sold to ensure that attendees will be able to get the opportunity to see animals every day of the fair.
