Come risk your life on a carnival ride operated by a meth addict with only two teeth!! Come eat deep fried trans-fats on a stick!! Come see the smelliest farm animals in all creation!! A great time is guaranteed for all!! BTW, if you come to the meet or not and still plan to go to the fair, you can save a ton of money by getting your tickets by August 10th. Go to <a href="http://www.bigfun.org" target="_blank">http://www.bigfun.org</a> for details. Hope to see you there.

Originally Posted By Schmitty Good Vibes You are right. Earlier, I clicked on the "Daily Schedule" for the 19th and saw that the first event was at 8:00 a.m., so I thought that was when the fair opened. Taking another look, I see that was an event for the 4H'ers, not the public.
