Sort of silly for me to pay for a $20 wristband for a 2 year old and will not hardly ride anything. Should be able to get a discount for kids under 4 for rides.

If you cant afford the gas to get to the fair then you cant afford the ticket either. Much less, spending all your money at some rigged game so you can walk around with a giant stuffed animal.

They need to provide free wrist bands for the rides too. $25.00 for a county fair is to much. I remember the fair costing $5.00 for everything, and that was in the 90's. You can go to Disney World for around $50.00 a ticket. I think I rather save for that. Cotton Candy is what? Around $4.50 a stick?

The county/city of Greenville should provide local bus service in support of the fair. Many people will not be able to afford to auto to the fair but could afford the bus fare. As a matter of fact, bus service including Ayden, Winterville to downtown would help the economy especially if the fuel is bio frendly.
