Acts, Dates, and Times

Alcohol Policy
Ohio law prohibits bringing alcoholic beverages onto Morrow County Fairgrounds property and
the surrounding lots. A wide array of food and beverages are available at concession stands.
We have the right to refuse the sale of alcohol to anyone at any time. Adults of age that choose
to consume alcoholic beverages will do so in a responsible manner.
Alcohol will not be served to anyone already intoxicated. Intoxicated patrons will be denied entry
into the venue. Public intoxication is grounds for ejection from the venue without refund. Each
customer’s ID is checked before each alcohol purchase. No one under the age of 21 is
permitted to purchase alcohol. Alcohol will not be served if the picture on the ID doesn’t match
the person attempting to purchase. No vertical or expired driver’s licenses from any state will be
accepted. NO GLASS CONTAINERS WILL BE ALLOWED ON THE GROUNDS AT ANY
TIME.
