HOOVER'S CONCESSIONS


Hoovers is a family built, owned and operated business that has been around since 1950.

The following year they went on to work in Zainesville at the Muskingham County Fair. We started out making and selling our fudge with not much more than a small copper kettle. Four generations later we have 35 handcrafted trailers that the Hoover family uses to produce and bring our items to you, all from our headquarters in Canfield, Ohio. Thus, becoming one of the largest, truly family built, owned and operated businesses in the showman circuit today.

IDO BAR & GRILL


The modest little Ido Bar & Grill on South Main Street in Akron has been known for good food for years, but now the food is even better. The food is mostly stick-to-your-ribs meat and potatoes. The menu starts with fried bar munchies, progresses to a long list of chicken dishes such as chicken stir-fry and chicken mornay, and finishes with a list of six steaks and a couple of seafood entrees. The Ido doesn't skimp on the small things, such as the bread and salads. The bread is locally baked Massoli's Italian. The salads are fresh and crisp and studded with homemade croutons. Such attention to detail is what separates the Ido from most down-home cafes.
