They bring in too much traffic and too many wierdos into town.

Absolutely, I love the atmosphere. My favorite ride is the ferris wheel. I won't be walking around much this year, but I have to ride the wheel and I have to win a stuffed animal. I will also be eating the food and not worry about it. Moo, moo, moo.

Sure. Loved it as a kid, loved taking my kids, and still enjoy the "those were the days" atmosphere.

I love county fairs. They give you a chance to see things you don't normally see living in the city.
