Boonville-Oneida County Fair showcases attendance increase for 2022

BOONVILLE- The 134th annual Boonville-Oneida County Fair is in the books and fair officials are happy to reveal this year an increase for attendance.

From Tuesday, July 26 through Sunday, July 31, the fairgrounds witnessed 46,559 attendees flock through the gates, which is just over a 15% increase from prior numbers, according to the fair office. 

Since life has resumed what we all once knew it prior to the COVID pandemic in 2020, we have heard numerous comments both from the fair office and from Coleman Brothers Shows that people, despite stiffer prices for general day-to-day living, showed tremendous eagerness to get out and enjoy the fair.   

On behalf of the Boonville-Oneida County Fair, officials would like to sincerely thank everyone who helped make the 134th celebration such a success and they look forward to seeing everyone again for the 135th fair in 2023.
