Redoubling fair attendance

Tue., July 14, 2015

This letter is in regard to Marianne Torres’ July 5 letter, “Ducking the Interstate Fair.” Holy cow. Talk about anger and hate. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a display of pure loathing in the Letters to the Editor section.

I’m curious as to what would be an acceptable theme for the Interstate Fair in Torres’ opinion. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t want to see it, but I’d be interested in knowing what it was. Then again, maybe not. I’m sure the fair will miss the revenue her six family members brought, so I’ll bring my family twice.
