Hello,

  I plan on driving down from Canada.  I will be coming down the 1-75.  Does anyone know how long it would take once I cross over into Ohio, to get to the festival?  Thank you!

Kind of depends on where in Canada you are coming from. From London, Ontario, it is about 7 hours by car.

Thank you!  I just meant from the Ohio border, but that info is even better.  I'm an hour east of London, so I can factor in an entire day's drive now.  Much appreciated.

Silly girl  :D

Lady Caroline, mapquest.com is awesome.  If you click on 'directions', type in your address and the the faire's (Harveysburg, Ohio) then it will tell you the distance, mileage, and hours!

Thank you Bugsey.  I know how to get there, the directions on the official website are easy to follow, and I've driven down the I75  to Florida many times.  I just like looking at a map, and knowing how long it should take me to get "across a page" :) Without whipping out a ruler and doing the math of course.

As far as mapquest goes.........I am not a fan! I find it messes up quite a bit, (and doesn't factor in my tendency to speed) lol.

I am looking forward to this fair in October, and I hope it's worth driving 8 hours to get there, and then another back again :)

Oh yea.  Lol. I'm uh...silly. Thanks for being so P/C Bugs! :)

I've driven to Toledo before and that looks like where you will be coming into Ohio.  If I remember right it took me almost 5 hours.

Have made this trip several times from Barrie.  The Faire is well worth the trip.

Google maps puts it at about 6 hours from London, at the speed limit  ;)

Don't forget to factor in some time for crossing the border.
Always on the lookout for my next noble cause.

And because a flail don't need reloading, that's why.

Lu and I made the from Guelph On to Sidney Ohio ( North of Dayton) many times. That is about 7 hours. Depending on bridge crossing ,construction etc...  The faire is about 1 or 1.5 hours more.

Great faire,nice folks. We stayed at Ceaser's Creek State Park.
