The Ross Exposition Center and Maureen M. Cromling Memorial Arena are complete and are already creating new opportunities at the Lorain County Fairgrounds.
What began with plans, fundraising and a vision for the future has become something our entire community can be proud of.
And we aren't finished yet.
Our next major phase is the construction of the new Junior Fair Beef Barn.

The Ross Exposition Center is officially complete!This 67,000-square-foot, climate-controlled facility was designed to bring year-round events to the Lorain County Fairgrounds and provide a flexible space for weddings, sporting events, trade shows, livestock shows, community events, corporate gatherings, concerts and more.
The building is now accepting event bookings.

The Maureen M. Cromling Memorial Arena is also complete and ready to welcome equine, livestock and agricultural events.
The 32,000-square-foot covered open-air arena provides a competition-size show ring and additional year-round opportunities at the Lorain County Fairgrounds.

With the Ross Exposition Center and Maureen M. Cromling Memorial Arena complete, Fairs Forever is moving into its next major phase.
Construction of the new Junior Fair Beef Barn is expected to begin soon.
The new facility will replace the existing Beef Barns and provide improved accommodations for exhibitors, livestock and families.
We look forward to sharing construction updates as this project moves forward.
