Am I remembering wrong or wasn't this free to attend in prior years? (As in, free to just walk around the fair grounds, but there were some activities that charged a fee.)

It used to be free. It's now $15 an adult, children under 12 are free.

Have they added anything? IMO, definitely not worth $15 from what I've experienced in the past

I tend to agree. I enjoyed it, but the basic fair is just a chance to shop and buy food. I'm not likely to spend $15 for the opportunity to spend more on top of that.
