The BIG LOCK

The BIG LOCK is replacing the Faces of the Fair as a community art project at the Canfield Fair.
Conceived by the Fair's Fine Arts' Staff and built by Lawless Industries, Ltd and AES, the 12' x 12' metal rooster has been installed in front of the Fine Arts' Building (#2 near the Rt 46 walk in gate).
Fair-goers are encouraged to take a lock to the fair and hang it on the sculpture.

Sneak Peek, Faces of the Fair

The 2013 Faces of the Fair montage contains the faces of over 4000 fair-goers from last year's event. This year, the vintage tractor image is dedicated to local farmers who make the Canfield Fair one of the longest running,  most revered county fairs in the country.

The Fine Arts staff will once again be on hand to photograph fair-goers who would like to be part of Canfield Fair history.  This will be the last year to participate in what has become one of the most popular features of the fair.  

Postcards, posters, and prints will be for sale at the Fine Arts Building during the fair, which will kick off on Wednesday, August 28th and run through Labor Day.  The Fine Arts Building is located close to the Route 46 walk-in gate at the north end of the fairgrounds.

All proceeds from the sale of the montage benefit the Fine Arts Department.
