Days of rumor turned into reality on Labor Day, as Donald Trump and running mate Mike Pence stopped by the Canfield Fair.
Two planes, one with the Trump logo and other marked "Trump Pence" landed at the Youngstown Warren Regional Airport shortly after 1:30 p.m., arriving from Cleveland where the Republican candidate attended a previous campaign event.
The entourage carrying the two members of the GOP presidential ticket arrived to crowds of people at around 3 p.m.
Donald Trump was greeted by a crowd of thousands as he pulled into the Canfield Fair.
Many people just happy to get a glimpse of the man who could be the next President of the United States.
While some people wore Trump 2016 shirts, others chanted Trump 2016 as his motorcade pulled into the fair grounds.
Trump smiled and gave the thumbs up to the Mahoning Valley crowd as he arrived with Vice-Presidential nominee Mike Pence by his side.
Yvonne Ford of Poland says the experience was thrilling, "It gives you goose bumps to see him. We only saw him get out of the car and we were like all screaming."
For Debbie Weaver it's the opportunity to come face to face with the man who could be our nation's next Commander-in-Chief.
"Well when they got out of the motorcade we were standing right there and I got to shake Mike Pence's hand and Donald was shaking somebody right next to me and I was hoping that he would reach over, but I at least touched his hand," Weaver said.
And with just 63 days left until the general election and Trump and Clinton effectively running neck and neck in the latest Reuters poll, some say it's clear just how important the Mahoning Valley vote is in this race. Trump has been in the Youngstown area two times in just three weeks.
"I'm a Democrat and I'm for Trump," Johanne Edel of Ellsworth said.
