The Loneliest Booth at the Ohio State Fair

'When I spotted this tiny, dark booth, I surveilled it for a while, feigning to study the map of the fairgrounds for bearings on my phone. Minutes passed, and then a few more, and all the while this forlorn booth had no guests. Literally not a single one.

It wasn't for lack of potential visitors. Friday was a perfect day for the popular fair - warm but not hot, and as comfortably cloudy as it was sometimes sunny. Ohio's capital city of Columbus is centrally located - in the Heart of it All of the Heart of it All - which makes for only a few hours' drive to its location from just about anywhere in this quite populous state. Understandably, the fair was crowded. Just about every booth got their fair (sic.) share of attention this day, but for that one - sparse, and sporting an overly tiny identifying sign - which seemed patently unable to buy a break.'>>>

INCLUDING Ohio, we have to do a lot more than the 'usual.'
