DIXON, CA (MPG) - Once you get to the Dixon May Fair, getting inside to enjoy the carnival rides and Fair Food is on the top of your mind. To help you get into all the action, the Fair has some tips to help lines go smoothly.

The Dixon May Fair has put several safety precautions in place to create a safer and more pleasurable experience for all fairgoers. For example, every patron goes through a metal detector at each entrance and this means all your bags and strollers must be checked. Your wallet, keys, and pocket change must be placed in a container as well.

If possible do not bring backpacks or large handbags and carry essentials in a clear bag or pouch so that you don’t have to stand in a ticket line, then move to the admission line where you will go through the metal detector. Save time by buying your tickets online before you come. Have them easily available on your mobile device or your printed tickets in your hand ready to present them.

Items that cannot be brought into the Fair include any type of weapon – no guns, knives (including pocket knives), pepper spray or other objects that may be a threat to the safety of other fairgoers.

No personal water containers are allowed. One unopened, sealed water bottle per person is allowed, as well as baby food and special dietetic foods.

No chairs, bicycles, hoverboards, skateboards, scooters, squirt guns, or balloons are allowed inside the Fairgrounds.

No pets are allowed on the fairgrounds. Qualified service dogs that meet the State of California definition (available at DixonMayFair.com) and dogs participating in various shows will be allowed.

By simply being aware of these precautions before you arrive, you can look forward to a great time at the Dixon May Fair! For ticket information visit www.DixonMayFair.com and click on Fair Information.
