They will have metal detectors and bag search at entrance but I didn't see anything about firearms being prohibited, but I think it might be?

We were just there two days ago. The answer is "yes but..." Yes, you may bring a concealed handgun, but you're not allowed to carry it into any building, repeat any building, including restrooms, they're all posted. I don't think that applies to 'pole barn' style buildings like where the rabbits and chickens are, if it's an enclosed building forget it.
The OSHP is running security and will find it, I didn't ask what they would do but I assume the worse, e.g., follow you around to make sure you don't go into any building. I really don't know if the "No guns" signs at the state fairgrounds have the same legal weight as at a shopping mall, since it's state property maybe there's more to it than a "pretty please".
Mike and Nan were in the Kasich building, pfft, and Nan was reading the story "The Little Red Hen" to a handful of children in the most boring monotonous voice I ever heard. If you're going to read an anti-socialist children's book, at least be a bit more animated about it! Good grief.
