There are many differences of opinion when you are hear the words “county fair,” whether it be that of boringness or unlikeliness because of safety, You would never know or could guess that the county fair has a much deeper meaning to its arrival and materialization during the summertime. So, people would ask why the county fair is such an important topic when brought up during the appearance of summer.

However, the county fair is something that has a deeper shade of origin that dates back hundreds of years ago. Some evidence that supports such a statement came from an article which stated “County and state fairs have been an agricultural tradition in the United States for over 200 years. Fairs trace their roots back to ancient times where they began as commercial events for traders to gather and sell their wares. The Book of Ezekiel in the Bible is one of the earliest sources that mentions what could be considered a fair.”  The county fair has always shown up in the summer, but nobody ever asked why. But it has a much deeper meaning that traces back to ancient times.

Safety is another key concern because you’re allowing your children to be on something that isn’t as stable as people originally thought. Some evidence comes from an article which states “quick changes of direction not normally to be had elsewhere in normal life so certain checks have to be made to ensure their safety. Fairground rides have to be designed, manufactured and reviewed to ensure their safety before they even come into use. Once in use they have to have an annual inspection just like an MOT.” This supports my claim that despite some people’s fears that the fair isn’t safe, in reality it is much safer than you think because the people in control don’t want others to be hurt.

Now, a lot of the times the county fair is here People stated that sometimes they don’t know if its safe because of The people directing it, But some evidence that refutes against a statement made by would be from a same particular article that states “Organized fairgrounds will normally be run by a person belonging to a member of a recognized trade association such as the Showman’s Guild of Great Britain (SGGB) or British association of Leisure Parks, Piers and Attractions (BALPPA) who will require all rides to be tested and hold a current certificate to prove this. Ride operators will generally have a copy of their certificate to hand which they can show you if asked” this supports my clear statement because of the factor that people don’t think its direct well but in reality it is very much directed well.

So in conclusion, Yes the county fair is a much deeper thing in the roots of Maryland and the safety is much guaranteed. And if you have any questions about the rides you can ask the director of said rides.
