Canfield Fair Fireworks will go on with new sponsor on June 28

One event that many people look forward to is the annual fireworks display at the Canfield Fairgrounds. Yet this year, there had been no mention of it until today.
The Canfield Rotary has long sponsored the event, but according to a press release from the Canfield Fair Board of Directors, the organization "would not be able to carry on the tradition."
Hosting this year's event, scheduled for June 28, will be the Canfield Fair/Mahoning County Agricultural Society, which is organizing this year's event.
Gates at the Fairground will open at 6:30 p.m., with the fireworks scheduled to begin at 9:45 p.m. Food vendors will also be on site. Entry costs will be $10 cash or $12 if you use a credit card per carload. Anyone walking in will cost $2 or $4 per person if using a credit card.
Canfield Fair Board Member George Roman said, "The Canfield Fireworks committee has been so generous with their time and resources for many years, first and foremost I thank them for their efforts. However, I am honored to be part of an organization (The Canfield Fair Board) that would step up and continue the tradition that those in Canfield and beyond look forward to each year.”
Sponsorships for the fireworks are available by contacting 330-533-4107 or by emailing marketing@canfieldfair.com.
The president of Canfield Rotary told 21 News their organization has not sponsored the event in the last few years.
A rain date is scheduled for June 29.
