The Canfield Fair offers something for everyone

CANFIELD — Still the largest county fair operated in Ohio’s 88 counties, the Canfield Fair is planning a full slate of activities for 2013. Running from Aug. 28-Sept. 2, the fair is entering its 167th year. Headlining those activities are Grammy winning artists Sheryl Crow and Train, along with country music star Gary Allan. Crow who made her name in the alternative rock scene has recently switched gears towards country music, releasing her first country album, Feels Like Home. Allan, known more for his Bakersfield sound, will open for Crow on Sept. 2. As for Train, who will perform on Sept. 1., the band is in the midst of its return to the top of charts. This return was spurred by the release of the catchy tune, “Hey, Soul Sister.” If a concert isn’t what you are looking for then, maybe a truck and tractor pull sponsored by Full Pull Productions and USA-East, is what you want. Scheduled for 7 p.m. Aug. 31, the pull will feature the ever popular Smoker Series. There will also be a limited pro/super farm tractor, modified 4x4 trucks, semi-trucks, and an unlimited class.

On Aug. 30, the fair will host the World’s Largest Demolition Derby presented by JM Productions. The derby harkens back to the olden days of demolition derbies, before custom built engines and re-enforced frames became the norm. All cars remain factory, with glass and interior, minus the front seats, removed. Doors are chained shut with only the driver’s door permitted to be welded shut. Although the noise level is much quieter, the level of destruction is the same. There will also be cheerleading demonstrations during the afternoon on Aug. 28, followed by school band concerts on Aug. 29. Other events include bike night beginning at 3 p.m. Aug. 29, harness racing, and the draft pony pig iron derby. Maybe its the food and atmosphere that draw you to the fair. If that’s the case, then the Canfield Fair offers miles of food vendors, animal barns, free performances around the grounds, and rides. History buffs will love the Western Reserve Village, which features restored historical buildings, the antique farm machinery and Antique

Dairy cows will also be milked daily for the public can see. Those brave enough can even attempt to milk a cow by hand. With this and more available every day, there is more than enough reason to give the Canfield a visit or two.

THE ANSWER IS

Where can I find equipment that works hard but isn’t hard on me? Who has Performance-Matched implements? Which dealer can I rely on for knowledge and service? Who has the right equipment for the job?

Country star Gary Allan will take the Canfield Fair stage Like Buck Owens and Dwight Yoakam before him, Gary Allan is a California country boy. So it seems right that his sound is heavily influenced by the Bakersfield scene, made popular by Owens. But, his way up the musical ranks is similar to most artists. A regular on the California bar circuit, Allan was introduced to songwriter/producer Byron Hill. Hill was so taken by Allan’s voice that he began sending Allan songs to record. But without any serious funding, Allan’s dream was idling, and he took a job selling cars. On a whim he left a demo tape in the glove box of a truck purchased by a wealthy couple who after hearing it wrote him a check for $12,000. This independent funding allowed Allan to go to Nashville to record some of the songs that were on that early demo tape. Within a year of arriving in Nashville, Allan had a record deal, but with country music being overrun by more pop influences, getting songs on the radio hasn’t always been easy. Allan hasn’t let that stop him as he continues to sell albums and maintain a large

fanbase. Once signed, Allan hit the charts running, with his debut album Used Heart for Sale certified gold. Its first single “Her Man” was also a Top 10 hit. His third album, Smoke Rings in the Dark, earned him his first platinum Gary Allan album. This was followed by two additional platinum albums, Alright Guy and See If I Care. Even after eight years, three platinum albums and a handful of Top 10 hits, Allan was nominated for the Country Music Association’s Horizon Award in 2003. The award is typically awarded to up and coming artists.

Just one year later, Allan’s life took a horrible turn as his third wife, Angela Herzberg committed suicide after suffering from depression and migraines. The tragedy forced him to put his career on hold, until he began to use music to deal with the loss. The loss and the music which came from it resulted in 2005’s Tough All Over. which debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 and number one on the magazine’s Top Country Albums chart. It also featured to 10 singles “Best I Ever Had” and “Life Ain’t

Always Beautiful.” Recently Allan released his ninth studio album, Set You Free, featuring the number one hit “Every Storm (Runs Out of Rain).” Platinum albums and award nominations are the only accomplishments in Allan’s career. He was once labeled “Country Music’s Sexy Star” by People Magazine and also had the lead role in the TV mini-series Shake, Rattle, & Roll. But, don’t expect him to lay down the microphone for the cameras.

Sheryl Crow crossing over to country Sheryl Crow has been a mainstay in the music world since 1994, when her song “All I Want Do” took the radio by storm. But, Crow was involved in music years before, beginning in Fenton, Mo., where she worked a a music teacher at Kellison Elementary School. On weekends she sang with local bands, eventually crossing paths with local musician and producer Jay Oliver. With Oliver’s help, she began recording advertising jingles, for everyone from local department stores to McDonald’s and Toyota. From there Crow moved up to backup vocalist, touring with Michael Jackson during his Bad World Tour from 1987-89. During the tour she often performed with Jackson on “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You.” She also recorded background vocals for Stevie Wonder, Belinda Carlisle and Don Henley. As the 90s began, Crow’s career continued in the up direction, with her song “Hundreds of Tears” being included in the “Point Break” soundtrack. Then came a duet with Kenny Loggins on “I Would Do Anything,”

from his album Leap of Faith. But in 1992 Crow hit a slight snag as her first attempt at a debut album was ultimately rejected by her label. Even that little snag couldn’t stop Crow’s career as her songs were still being recorded by Celine Dion, Tina Turner and Wynonna Judd. Now she performs alongside the likes of the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Luciano Pavarotti, Willie Nelson, Smokey Robinson, BB King, Tony Bennett, Kid Rock, Scott Weiland and Sting. It was the single “All I Want Do” and the “Tuesday Night Music Club” album that helped Crow reach this level. “Tuesday Night Music Club” sold over 7 million copies and earned her Record of the Year, Best New Artist, and Best Female Vocal Performance at the 1995 Grammy Awards. More Grammy Awards, Best Female Rock Vocal Performance and Best Rock Album came in 1996 due to her self titled second album. The album featured the smash hit “If It Makes You Happy.” In 1997, Crow contributed the theme

Train enjoying renewed success After hitting it big in the late 90s and early 2000s with songs “Meet Virginia,” “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)” and “Calling All Angels,” Train fell off the musical map. During those years the band went through a lineup change and saw its fourth album fail to gain commercial success. But, come 2009 the band was back with a vengeance striking gold with the songs “Hey, Soul Sister” and “Marry Me.” The story of Train begins in 1993, when lead singer Pat Monahan left his hometown of Erie, Pa. for San Francisco. He eventually met Rob Hotchkiss and the two created a duo act before creating Train in 1994. Monahan and Hotchkiss found guitarist Jimmy Stafford, bass player Charlie Colin and drummer Scott Underwood to complete their lineup. After failing to get a record deal, the band released an independent self-titled album, which led to them touring with the Barenaked Ladies, Hootie & the Blowfish, Cracker and Counting Crows in 1997. Just one year later, Train’s first hit “Meet Virginia” was released. This was followed by the single “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me),” which won two Grammy Awards in 2002. The album was certified double platinum in the United States and Canada and remains the band’s best-selling album to date. It was after the release of their third album, the platinum certified My Private

Nation, that the band began to dissolve. Founding member Hotchkiss and Colin left the band. The band released its fourth album, For Me, It’s You in 2006, with Brandon Bush on keyboards and Johnny Colt on bass. Despite a generally positive reception from critics, the album was commercially unsuccessful. Train then went on a three-year hiatus. During the hiatus Monahan released a solo album that had two singles reach the Top 20. He also wrote “The Truth” for American Idol winner Kris Allen. On Aug. 11, 2009, Train released its first single in over three years, “Hey, Soul Sister.” The catchy tune was from their fifth studio album, Save Me, San Francisco, and becom- Train is continuing to enjoy the renewed success brought on by “Hey, Soul ing their second-career top 10 hit on the Bill- Sister,” releasing California 37 in April 2012.

The Western Reserve Village preserves Valley history Standing at the south end of the Western Reserve Village is the church, which brings fulfillment to the dream of fair directors Bob Rose and C. Gilbert “Gib” James. The dream to preserve the Connecticut Western Reserve heritage of the Mahoning Valley by reconstructing a typical town began in 1965. The church was originally designed during the 1800s and is currently used for wedding ceremonies by those in the community. The church and other village buildings are part of a non-profit foundation which maintains and continues the village preservation efforts.

The law office of Elisha Whittlesey was the first building moved to the village in 1965. Whittlesey was the nation’s first comptroller or controller of the U.S. Treasury under President Zachary Taylor. He also helped in the formation of the Mahoning County Agricultural Society, which is the founding organization of the Canfield Fair. Whittlesey’s law partner Judge Eben Newton served as the agricultural society’s first president. The two men had their law office constructed in 1840 on Canfield’s Village Green. Another building, the log cabin, was relo-

cated from Slater Road in Butler Township, Columbiana County. Following the log cabin’s relocation, the railroad station, watchman’s tower and country store were added. The train station was once owned by the Erie Lackawanna Railroad Co., while the tower was moved from North Jackson. A steam locomotive, retired from Youngstown Sheet and Tube, was also moved to the train station along with a red caboose. Also found on the grounds, is an oneroom schoolhouse, built in 1900 at the corner of Leffingwell and Knauf Roads, in Ellsworth Township. Once the schoolhouse was permanently placed in 1967, the Beaver Branch Library was moved from North Lima to the fairgrounds. In 1968, one of the first saw mills in Canfield was cut in half and

reconstructed on the grounds, providing the village with a blacksmith shop. The office of Dr. Stewart G. Patton was added in 1972. Built in 1913, Dr. Patton worked out of the North Jackson private practice for 24 years. An old barn that once stood at the old Mahoning County Home on Herbert Road, Canfield, now stands at the village’s entrance, welcoming visitors into the past. The barn is supported by beams held together by pins, typical of that era’s construction. Handmade bricks salvaged from another County Home building are used throughout the village. Completing the village are the restored Carriage Museum and gazebo.

Big changes have been made to the Canfield Fair over the years CANFIELD — The Mahoning County Agricultural and Horticultural Society, founded in Canfield in 1846, established its Grand Annual Fair to bring together the people and their products to compare notes and relate experiences. The first fair was held on the village green and included a small livestock show, a plowing contest and a horse race or two. Early fairs were attended primarily by gentlemen, who dressed for the occasion in suits and top hats or fedoras. Ladies, dressed in long skirts, high-necked blouses and bonnets, were relegated to gathering in the First Congregational Church building, where they displayed their homemade products and food preserves. When the original fairgrounds were estab-

lished, they were small in area, and the buildings consisted of a few sheds. From time to time through the years, additional land was purchased and better and more spacious buildings added. The Floral Hall was built in 1869, reportedly by the same man who built Canfield’s Old Courthouse Building. Other early fair buildings included a Music Hall and a Mechanics Hall. In the years since the Canfield Fair was organized, great changes have taken place in Mahoning County. In 1846 it was almost entirely agricultural, while today it has become a thriving industrial and service-oriented community. As years went by, the fair reflected the times both in its displays and exhibits, as well as in society’s expressions of

dress and decorum. The fairgrounds sit on 350 acres. People come in cars, motor homes, pickup trucks, on motorcycles and on foot. Clothing is casual, comfortable, and probably would have been considered quite daring 163 years ago. Today’s spacious grounds, ample freeparking area, high-quality displays, exhibits and attractions are a testimony to the Mahoning County Agricultural Society and to 163 years of progress and dedication to the Canfield Fair. What has remained unchanged over the decades is the spirit and heritage of that pioneering group at that first simple gathering in 1846. The legacy of the Canfield Fair is a willingness to share ideas, bring forth the best of the harvest each year, and to build the tradition of lifelong friendships. Today, the Canfield Fair is a trip to an art

museum, an international entertainment event, a showcase of handcrafts and baked goods, a modern machinery bonanza, insight into farm animal life, a symphony of sounds, a gourmet’s delight and dieter’s downfall! Today’s fair is the ultimate carnival with rides, food, midway games and sideshows, while at the same time a heritage of agriculture, art and industry. It’s a place to meet and greet old friends and to introduce a whole new generation to animals and farm products. The fair has unique collections of antique, steam-powered equipment, as well as horsedrawn carriages, providing a glimpse of days gone by. Western Reserve Village on the south end of the fairgrounds is a reconstruction of pioneer life in Mahoning County — Information from www.canfieldfair.com
