New Holland ZimmPollOur latest ZimmPoll asked the question, “What brings you to the county, regional or state fair?”

People all across the country are flocking to their local, regional and/or state fairs. It looks like tradition topped out lasted poll as to why many attend. But exhibiting livestock and a fair corn dog were runners up. Whatever your reasoning for going, we can all agree fairs are all centered around agriculture.

Here are the poll results:

  • Food – 18%
  • Exhibit livestock – 22%
  • Carnival – 0%
  • Just the experience – 17%
  • Tradition – 35%
  • Concerts – 4%
  • Other – 4%
