Stand-alone photo: Numbers coming in for Great Northern Fair

Fairgoers ride the Star Trooper of Brown’s Amusements, the carnival at the 2013 Great Northern Fair. While the numbers are not final, and don’t appear to be record-setting, the manager of the Great Northern Fairgrounds said the attendance seemed to be decent this year. Tim Solomon said he hopes to have more numbers on attendance gathered by the end of the day.

The carnival apparently had decent attendance, as did most events in the evening entertainment, Solomon said, with some down a bit and some up.

“The rodeos did very well, and I heard nothing but good comments on them,” Solomon added.
