Right now pretty much everyone is having a hard time making ends meet and cant afford to make donations unfortunately right now our economy is worsening and not too many people can afford extras. I hope our economy picks back up so the donations pick up.

I agree with the taxpayer I agree that your here in the US we all speak ENGLISH if we went to Mexico their country would expect us to know Spanish, or where ever any other country they would expect us to know their language why should it be different for us!!! and NO I am NOT racist or being rude mean what ever just stating how I feel.

I look forward to the demo each year. Its a great way to end the fair. I think changes need to be made, Its the derby your supposed to CRASH and yet you see the same ones just driving around everyone so they can make it to the feature. I also think the rocks/gravel whatever it was that was laid out this year was a bad idea, when those cars kicked up the rocks and flung it out people got hit, I know we got hit before but previously its been just mud NOT ROCKS!! Maybe more speakers so people sitting not in the grandstand can hear the names the numbers the final 3. But other then that it was great and fun and exciting.. and yes a great way to end the fair.

Wow....Our economy is in need of HELP!!! What else will close..right now these stores are minimal but if we keep losing these businesses there wont be jobs for people that need these jobs. Those stimulas checks were nice but people used them to get out of debt not to help the economy... Well I hope our community stays strong and grows and no more businesses close!!

Also a 4yr old told his family after spending just a couple hours there that the fair is a dirty place.

I understand the prices at the fair are $8 to get the better singers, but I think it should be $3-5 to get in $2 to park and $5-10 to get into the grandstands and then for the demo derby pay the full $8 to get in cause you can stand all around to watch that. I just feel that this is isnt going to be the turn out that they want or expected with all the prices going up people cant afford to pay $16(2 adults) to get in and then $3 to park not including kids and food and rides and drinks thats alot of money. I just think that they need to reconsider their prices for next year, my parents live my the fair grounds and when you drive by the parking is usually full and no parking spots left I have yet to see that happen this year.

Ok well when the signs are moved to the side of the road one would think the road was closed while they were working on it and when they are moved it means OPEN!!! i see it in town quite often!!! and did you not read the paragraph "Because there was additional tampering with the barricades last weekend, the county will be installing a jersey barrier wall this morning as a secondary, extraordinary protective measure,” Miller said Tuesday.
Obvisouly there are little jerks going around moving these people with no hearts or cares to what may happen!! These signs get put up to close roads i understand but the road my cousin Kelly Abrego was on had a sign but it was moved they figured the road was open..as did I when we were in the Glenville Myrtle area a couple weekends ago!! They need flashers on those to prevent this from happening or using concrete barriers!! I type in caps to so my emotions thanks for noticing!! :)

IT TOOK 3 PEOPLE TO DIE ON THIS ROAD BEFORE ANYTHING WAS DONE!! THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED AFTER THE FIRST ACCIDENT THAT CLAIMED THE LIFE OF MR WANGEN...BUT NO IT WASNT AND IT TOOK THE LIFE OF A MOTHER OR 3 AND A MAN WHO WAS WELL LIKED !! I THINK THAT THE DRIVER OF THE AVALANCE SHOULDNT GET ANY CHARGES AGAINST HIM BECAUSE THIS SHOULDNT BE A LONG DRAWN OUT REPAIR IT SHOULD VE BEEN GETTING FIXED RIGHT AWAY!! ALSO I KNOW THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL ROADS THAT ARE BEING WORKED ON THAT ARE TOTALLY GONE THAT HAVE THE ROAD CLOSE SIGNS THAT ARENT EVEN UP OR BLOCKING THE ROAD.. MY FAMILY AND I ALMOST DROVE ON A COMPLETELY GONE ROAD IN THE GLENVILLE/MYRTLE AREA A COUPLE WEEKS AGO CAUSE THERE WAS NO SIGN!! THANK GOD WE SEEN THAT THE ROAD WASNT THERE BUT IT WAS DARK AND THERE WAS NO FLASHING LIGHTS NO NOTHING!! SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE A LITTLE MORE IF THE ROADS ARE GONE!!!!!!!! OR THERE WILL BE MORE DEATHS!!!
