For those concerned about space, we have unfortunately accepted as a society that selfish and entitled behavior win over the concept that everyone has paid the same admission and it is crowded.
Not welcoming to share the little space allowed is frankly, antisocial behavior which is why most of us get frustrated bringing our children into the society we have chosen to create, even at the county level.
Not only was I struck by the woman in pink, but she refused to allow my party of 3 into any space around her, of which there were at least 7 seats, 4 they had their feet on, so i assumed a large group, but when the rest of her party came...3 of them...well...
I was frustrated and perplexed by how selfish and ignorant we have allowed so many people to become that addressing it like adults is not a likely outcome.
I realized not making a scene was my best route, being the only adult in my party.
Also, a man in the crowd above us was removed with police escort (with his toddler in his arms) after screaming obscenities so loudly at a derby driver, that the driver was able to comprehend and reply. It was a full conversation of nothing but hatred.
God Bless America.
Thankfully, our well-stretched-out Grandma decided to yell back, "There's [Fuh-quin] kids over here!"
Poignant, ma'am.
And effective.
I do not have delusional standards for a Demolition Derby, nor a county fair.
I'm from the Midwest, I am familiar.
But some semblance of civility within our population is required for any of this society to work.
Any of it.
I recommend we all consider doing better when or if we can, leading with kindness and consideration, because the amount of us who are most certainly not is growing at an alarming rate.
Loved the rides. The food was decent, and the activities were great! My son had a wonderful time and I wish that was enough to make up for the behavior of my "peers" distracting me from being concerned about what I have to put up with just to exist in any social space.

Read moreMy girlfriend and I visited the Wayne County Fair on Saturday, 19 August. It was a fun day trip and her first time visiting such an event. We browsed the exhibits barns and saw some of the vendors, but the Urias Globe of Death, the walk through history, the midway with different games and foods, and the animal barns were particular favorites. A lovely way to spend an afternoon and the weather was perfect. Sunny, but not hot and just enough of a breeze. There were events going on late into the night, but we just spent the afternoon and had plenty of fun. Despite living nearby for most of my life, I hadn’t attended the Wayne County Fair before, but I’ll have to go back...
