BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY - On the Bloomsburg fairgrounds, people are gearing up
for the event that will welcome thousands of people from around the
region. The newest development for this
year's fair is the sale of tickets online.
Bloomsburg Fair President Fred Trump said, "Internet sales are
going well, although we still have tickets for all shows."
There are still a few days until the fair officially
opens but if you take a look around, it looks like it could open now. There are some odds and ends that need to be
taken care of like painting the rides, setting up booths and, of course,
delivering product.
John Klinger with Hazle Park Meats will sell
literally tons of meat to vendors here at the fair. “I get calls at all hours of the
morning. People don't clean their stalls
up ‘till late at night and they take inventory and find out what they need for
the next day. They'll call me one, two
in the morning," said Klinger. He
is hoping for a more profitable year since last year fell short. "Last year was an average year. The weather...there was a day or two that
were a little rainy and it held some of the people back."
The Bloomsburg Fair runs September 22 through the
29th. | |
