Because there's no admission fee to the fair grounds?

Correct.

There always used to be live entertainment in the area between the buildings and the carnival. All of the exhibits are free. I know its no consolation, but even the things that cost (aside from the carnival) were always cheap (er) than other forms of entertainment! But I haven't lived in Rooks County for 6 years now!

Or are you upset that your free healthcare that you hope for may be in jeaopardy?

QUACK!

Since the Stockton prison is closed, they don't have inmates to do the clean-up work. They'll have to pay some local kids or some illegals to do it. Things will probably be a bit more expensive this year.

I always understood that a free fair meant there was no charge to enter projects into the judging aspect of the fair

Yes sir Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner!!! That is exactly why they were called "Free Fairs" for years. I guess some always expect to be entertained for free all of the time.

Free healthcare. Free housing. Free education. Free food. Free gasoline. Free entertainment. Sounds like the outline of a BO campaign speech.

It is a damn broken record on this Forum, where if someone difiles the "talking heads' that they are just a damn Democrat or someone looking for a handout. Well I hate to tell you this, but your opinion isn't always the right one and for that matter neither is mine but I have the right to say it just like you do.

I didn't vote for the current President and I didn't vote the other piss poor choice we had, I voted for Ron Paul, I know many on here will decry that I simply threw my vote away on a non-existant candidate. Neither one of the "choices" we had last November were worth a timker's damn, but we are stuck with Mr. Obama for the next four years, like it or not.

I pay my taxes just like everyone else on this Forum, I just wish that we all had Representatives that worked for our interests instead of lining their pockets with $$$$ from Big Business and Lobbyists to make them bastards richer everyday.

See. Don't you feel better getting that off your chest?

Like I told you before, there's nothing wrong with being democrat.

Holding that in wasn't good for you.

You'll sleep better tonight while waiting for your entitlements.

QUACK!

Nitro, you are just another lemming who just can't see the forest for the trees. Perfect example of the ones on this Forum who will simply belittle and A$$ume someone political affiliation because it doesn't fit their own views and Political beliefs.

For the record Nitro, I have been a Registered Independent all of my voting life. I simply do my research, select the candidate that I feel will do the best job whether they are a Democrat, Republican or of another Party Affliation. I don't believe entirely in either of the two parties platforms, and I disagree with many of the positions they take.

You can be an informed Independent Voter ... maybe some of you straight ticket Democrat or Republican Voters should use your fricken brains to think outside the "talking points" that most of you Straight Party Voters blindly follow. You might just like it!!

I work just like you, just not a fulltime job and I pay my taxes every year and don't complain about being unfairly taxed, I'm just in the vast majority that are being unfairly represented by the jackasses in Washington who are there just to line their pockets with Campaign Contributions for the wealthy and big business.

And for the record, the Republican Party has just as much blame for the mess that this Country is in. They had their part in bringing this Country to where it is today, those who choose to deny that are the ones who I feel the sorrow for. They are the ones that need to open their eyes and thake a long hard look in the mirror and admit they fucked this Country up as much as any of the Democrats!

It's ok, slider, it'll take a little getting used to.

Can't expect too much on your first day out of the closet.

BTW, who says I'm republican?

I can remember spending wednesday afternoons at the Rooks Co Fair. They had armband afternoon on Wednesdays and I think we rode every ride 2 or 3 times. That was back when they had a nice carnival. I would like to see the demo derby on Saturday but won't make it up there this year.

Chimps and monkeys are different-I know...just in case Rolling Eyes

Monkeys vs. chimps

What are the differences between a monkey and a chimpanzee?

Both chimpanzees and monkeys are primates, though monkeys are less closely related to people.

The main obvious difference between the two is that monkeys have tails; chimps do not. Monkees are structurally closer to four-legged animals like cats and dogs, while chimpanzees and other apes are more similar to human beings, both structurally and in terms of their level of intelligence and behavior. Apes have been observed to operate within a social structure and have even been taught to use sign language and to type.

Actually the rooks county free fair has a few "free" things to offer. They have a free hamburger feed. And I think they also have a free watermelon feed and free bingo too. There may be a few other things, but thats all I can think of right now. Even though its not all free, its definitely one of the best county fairs in the area.
