With these economic times it is hard for families to be able to afford to go to the fair when it costs so much. I've found for the last couple of years that there weren't many exhibits and things to look at and I really miss that. Giving people more to look at and admire might be a step in the right direction. They should lower the cost of admission and the rides. Adding a petting zoo would be nice too.
Rural fairs are an old tradition.
They should be held in the fall, not mid summer. You need to wait until after the harvest is over. I think we should try and revert back to more of a country image, instead of going for more glitz like the midway. We have to look at our small town roots and capitalize on them.
