West Side Nut Club Fall Festival — Local services in Evansville

Most of it was ok but had an issue with a game operator, my child was going to ride a ride next to the game and the man who was running the game made us and a bunch of kids to stand in.line behind the game and part of the ride, I told him that it was not safe for kids to stand back there it was dark and people could not see their kids back there, he said that there is a camera there and they would be safe, I told him that's not right and he had no right to make us stand in the dark like that, and he got rude and mean abt it, there was Porta potty back there and no one would ha e been able to see a child being taken and even if there was cameras the police would not have been able to get there in time, and any child could ha e been grabbed and pulled into a potty and go e before anyone would notice.

This is a private club made up of Evansville West Side businessmen. It is an outstanding organization of 300 active members, all men.
