PHOENIX — More than a million visitors went to the recently concluded Arizona State Fair, but attendance was slightly down from last year.
Fair officials said 1.1 million fun-seekers ambled through the grounds at McDowell Road and 19th Avenue during the 18-day run. A couple even got married on closing day.
The fair got off to shaky start when more than two dozen teenagers got into a brawl on opening night.
About 30 youths were detained on the grounds after the fighting.
The fair ended Sunday. Early plans are to kick off next year’s fair Oct. 9.
