If it goes right, we’ll be in good shape for Saturday, Sunday and Monday.”Thursday’s rain caused many vendors to close for the night, which they say hampered their plans.“It’s kind of sad,” Yvonne Andrews of Double A Concessions, said. “It’s hard because you think why can’t I do something, you know? And you’re just standing there doing nothing. That makes it really hard.”<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2Hqq0Q_1Es3jfU200" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2Hqq0Q_1Es3jfU200" width="1920" height="1080" ></figure>The high temperatures and heavy rainfall resulted in about seven thousand less people in attendance. However, the inside of the fairgrounds were relatively dry. Roman attributes this to the fact that many vendors were set up before the rain became an issue.Despite the lack of attendance in the first couple days, vendors are still optimistic about the rest of the fair.“It’s been slow, very slow. But I think Saturday, Sunday, Monday it’s going to pick up for us. I’m excited, I’m ready,” Andrews exclaimed.For Maria Trivina, a first time vendor at the Canfield fair, she says that the weather has had a similar effect on her stand, “Mini’s Chocolate Tap.”She told 21 News that even if there is more weather issues, she doesn’t think it will affect their preparations.“We try to prepare as much as we can,” Trivina explained. “And it depends on how many people we see around. We don’t prepare a bunch, so we like to make a balance.”</div></body>
