Letter to the Editor

It’s been awhile since I fired off a letter to the editor but last night I was motivated to do so. We are big and popular now so f u.

“As a resident of the northeast estates, my wife and I always look forward to the county fair. One of the benefits of living right next to the fairgrounds has been the fair organizers offering free tickets to the residents that live next door. They did this as a courtesy for the increased traffic and noise that is generated by the fair during the 10 days it is running. I stopped by the fair office last night to pick up my tickets for this year.

I explained to the woman I was there to pick up two tickets. She said that the fair was no longer offering free tickets. She said that the event has become very ?popular? and ?big?. Puzzled, I tried to understand why the fair being popular or big had a correlation with extending this courtesy to the residents that border the property. Disappointed, I left and gave my wife the news.

It?s a shame that the fair officials have decided that the event has become popular enough that they no longer need to be good neighbors. We used to visit the fair two or three times during the 10 days. Although our tickets were free, we spend plenty on food, drink and entertainment. Now we will go no more than once. This apparent greed motivated action, may in reality hurt the fair?s bottom line as the residents that have frequented the fair with greatest regularity now stay away. “
