Let's All Go to the Fair

Mike and producer David C. Barnett talk with a fair vendor.
Mike and producer David C. Barnett talk with a fair vendor.

It's fair season in Ohio, when a slice of Americana -- with a side of fried anything -- sets up shop in counties across the state. Moms and dads and wide-eyed kids walk the midway. 4-H teens show off their prized pigs and home gardeners present the season's perfect peppers. On the next Sound of Ideas, we'll visit the Cuyahoga County Fair and discuss the lure of fairs across the region and throughout Ohio. Admission, of course, is free. Wednesday at 9:00 on 90.3
