Something To Crow About

In this week's episode we sit down with George Roman. George has stories upon stories from his time at the Fair, which started as a young boy growing up in Canfield. 

Marcie Applegate is a familiar face at the Fine Arts Building every year during Fair Time and she's excited to talk about the new Community Art Project - Flock to the Fairgrounds. Learn how you can get involved and here some real world tips from someone who's been making the world more beautiful for many years. 

In this episode we talk with Mark Witmer, Farmers National Bank who just may be the biggest fair fanatic of them all! Hear his stories of Fairs gone by and how he snuck into this year's event, in the rain! 

In this episode Tony talks with 2020 4H King, Marcus Moliterno and 4H Queen/Outstanding Youth Sarah DeLucia.  Take a peak underneath the crowns and learn what it takes to reach Royalty status and we learn about Goat Painting (hint: it's the new Goat Yoga!) 

In this episode we chat with Tim Petrey. Tim is the managing partner at HD Davis CPA's as well as a partner in Youngstown Clothing Company (you know, the folks responsible for the fun t-shirts and Fair merchandise the past few years.) Tim and his wife Carla live in Canfield with their two children. 

In this episode we chat with Dennis Schiraldi, founder of DOYO Live, Northeast Ohio's premiere Marketing Conference.  Dennis is a Valley native and like the infamous Seinfeld episode, has his own "Tractor Story".

In this episode we dive deep into the history of DiRusso's Sausage in the Mahoning Valley and how it came to be synonymous with the Canfield Fair. They've not been there for 175 years but they come pretty darn close. 

Get the details on this weekend's Fair Food Extravaganza 3. Learn who will be there and why it's just good for the community. Get your forks ready.  Also, we come up with the ultimate Canfield Fair Food Mash Up and some 1980's movie trivia.

Join us as we chat with Eric Ryan, President of JAC Managment/JAC Live and talk all things grandstand entertainment (and drops a hint at who is performing at the 175th Canfield Fair...maybe...). We also learn his secret to canning tomatoes and the future of entertainment in a post COVID world. 

In this episode we chat with Susan Less Phillips, who talks fondly of spending time at the Fair with her grandfather. Enjoy this walk down memory lane with our friend Susan. 

Join mother-daughter power duo, Kathy Bennett and Lisa Toy, as they reflect back on their time as Board members with stories from Fairs past.
