Ducking the Interstate Fair
The Spokane County Interstate Fair commissioners named this year’s fair “Duck Into the Fair,” and use “Duck Dynasty” graphics. They have “Duck Dynasty” as a highlighted act. Are they out of their minds? “Duck Dynasty”? For and at the Spokane Interstate Fair? Are they out of their minds?
Racist, ignorant, misogynist, just plain stupid people and concept. Insulting, unimaginative, brain dead. Is this who they think comes to the fair? Is this what they think of the very people who keep this fair alive and their wages paid?
They’re working hard to keep Spokane in the national forefront for ridicule and contempt. Don’t they think we’ve had enough of that for a while? What on earth happened to imagination, creativity, intelligence? How on god’s green earth did they come to that theme?
Count as absent six of us who normally go to the fair more than once every year. Are they out of their minds?
