I used to go every year as a kid; our house was within walking distance so we'd head over and gorge on Pronto Pups and go on the rides. More recently I've been attending as a Master Gardener volunteer in the Horticulture building, answering questions about Japanese beetles and more Japanese beetles. I was asked to sign up again this year but no way. Too many people shoulder to shoulder, probably without masks and contagious hell. And there's also the lawsuit by the gunners who want to bring their guns with them. I don't think they'll succeed, but they might, and some of them might be packing anyhow, because freedumb and the fair is too dangerous to attend without being armed to the teeth.

Too many stupid people packed into one place. Run away.
