BLOOMSBURG -- It's a wrap at the 160th annual Bloomsburg Fair.

Opening day of the Bloomsburg Fair brought warm and sunny weather, whereas the last day had drizzling rain and was in the 40's.

"I have like five layers on," said Cassidy Orzel of West Wyoming. "I didn't expect it to be this cold."

Dick Ague's family stand has been at the fair since the 1930's. So they know a thing or two about how much this shake and malt stand is dependent on warm weather.

"It cuts our sales tremendously," said Ague. "We do need some warmer weather than what we're getting right now but we have it with everybody else. We get our good days when it's warm and they get their good days when its cold."

Businesses at the fair say despite the less than ideal weather, they're still seeing quite the crowd.

In spite of the scarf and hat, Alice Moodie swears that their ice cream stand still sees a steady stream of ice cream lovers.

"I'm bundled up," Moodie said. "The first four days was fantastic. The last three - not so much. That's why we're bundled up.  People still come. No matter whether it's cold or not, they're still eating ice cream."

"It's a little cool and damp, but it's the Bloomsburg Fair," said Vicky Preston of Allentown. "The people come, especially the last day. It could still be raining and they will still be out here."
