Allentown Fair

Can someone tell me about the Allentown Fair? What is there to do if you don%26#39;t buy tickets for the big entertainment? Or if we do buy tickets, is sitting in the section under the roof too far away to see anything? my daughter-in-law has a bad back and I%26#39;m wondering if everything requires a great deal of walking.

Thanks,

Betty

The Allentown Fair is an agricultural/carnivalon a grand scale. It as pretty big name entertainiment, but also has a midway with rides, games of chance, and lots of food. The fairgrounds itself is a good size approximately three blocks by two blocks. There is the agricultural ares where you can see cows, pigs, chickens, etc and produce, baking contests, things like that, then there is the rides and food,etc. and the beer gardens in one corner of the grounds. As for the concert venue it is located on what used to be a horse track. I think it holds maybe 7000. The grandsstands are old but there is a handicapped area. If you call the office they are usually quite helpful. There is a good deal of walkiing involved depending on how much you want to see. Or if you just wanted to see a show there is infield parking where you do not have to walk very far.
