Rode rides I haven't since a child. Prices were way to high. Won some prizes though. The shows were the best part.

My son had a good time and didn't want to leave. Rides are kinda spendy but there is plenty of free activities to do as well. Not a bad Friday night.

Volunteered for the first time at the Jax Hot Air Balloon Festival today (Sunday May 14) and had a once-in-a-lifetime experience of helping set up, organize rides, take a ride, and put away a hot air balloon!

Event itself was packed with people long before the place opened. Volunteers (me and my husband) were allowed in at 4pm and general public entrance started at 5ish. Volunteers are given free admission, a meal ticket, free beverages and snacks, and a separate tent and sitting area to cool off in.

The winds were too strong to set up safely on time, so there was a delay (balloons started going up closer to 6) but people overall seemed pretty happy to get a little air time.

Rides were $25 each and fast pass was $50. Long lines started forming at each of the 5 or 6 balloons by 7ish.

Fred was our assigned balloon operator, and he was a good sport despite the delay. My husband was helping load riders into the balloon while I took the tickets and grouped people into 3 or 4. It was interesting to meet different people and see each person's facial expression before, during, and after the ride.

Everything closed down around 10pm by the time the last group went up, and the vendors were still packing up when we left around 11pm.

Overall, volunteering was really fun and also really tiring, but worth the experience and learning how to do new things (daisy chain knots!). Thanks for having us help make this event happen. It was definitely a workout! Props to the regular balloon crews and operators - it's a lot of patience, hard work, and coordinated effort to get those things in the air.

Only reason my rating lost 1 star was the planning and organization of the event seemed like it could use a lot of improvement, especially for random people parking where the balloons should be.

These fairgrounds have improved so much over the years. The have built huge barns for livestock during the fair and for other events. They now have a massive parking lot, no more getting stuck in the mud. There are also buildings full r the food vendors. Asphalt trails are no available for walking through the midway.

It was OK, haven't been to a fair in years. Best part was the animals, especially the horses!!! The stripes on the horse are shadows, lol

You better bring you a line of credit when you come here. High priced foods that are horrible quality compared to what it used to be.
The ride selection is ok but again, nothing like it used to be.
Majic Bob guy is great and the little piggy races were cute. The kids liked the majic show.
Good police support which is great and helps everything run smoothly.
We come and support because it's local but we go to the Clay County fair when we can.
