Higher Class Inmates Escaping Fair

It’s human nature, I suppose. Some folks will always see the toilet tank jail wine as half empty, while optimists like me always see it as half full. That explains why I’m so calm in the midst of yet another Spokane Interstate Fair escape. Last Friday, a Geiger Corrections Center inmate walked away from his work crew detail at the fairgrounds. Robert E. Reed was last seen leaving the fair wearing a white T-shirt and blue pants, carrying six elephant ears and a corn dog. Sorry. I made up the elephant ears and corn dog part. I feel like I can joke about this because I’ve read everything I can about the 46-year-old escapee and nowhere do I see the words “HOMICIDAL MANIAC!!” I still get the shivers thinking about when criminally insane Phillip Paul took off from his mental hospital outing to the 2009 Interstate Fair. Remember?/ Doug Clark , SR. More here .

Question: Do you ever go to the Spokane County Fair?
