Fairs, that is, bumpkins. I have now hit the Lorain County Wellington Fair and the Portage County Randolph Fair and am seriously planning (requires working around volleyball games, choir practice, football games, historical society meetings, doctor’s appointments and the bloodmobile, for starters) to hie myself off to catch the Great Geauga County Fair up in Burton. Notice that the first two have the name of the towns which are the local venues (Does Burton get that kind of billing?). There’s a reason for that. Both county fairs were originally held in the county seats–Elyria, Ravenna–while Wellington and Randolph had their own affairs going on, separately. When the real estate upon which the festivities were being held got to be got to be more valuable for commercial development than could be justified by just one big gathering per year–with pigs and chickens, even–the events got moved out to “the sticks” where there were already fairs going on…and fairly(That’s a joke, son) well-known too. The State of Ohio, the agriculture society, anyway, at some point declared that only one fair per county would be designated as THE county fair and would be supported as such. There may well be other fairs around the state with the same name issues (Canfield?), but basically, it comes down to commercial values. Forward-looking fair boards are always trying to come up with other money-making activities to be held on the fairgrounds, to bring people in and to pay for the upkeep and improvements always needed.

A riveting (and cautionary) look back at one of our country’s darkest days. When campuses erupted in protests over the Gaza war earlier this year, you had to hope lessons had been learned from the horror at Kent State University on May 4, 1970. Four students were killed and nine others injured that day when Ohio National Guard troops opened fire on unarmed campus protestors. Kent State: An American Tragedy offers a compelling chronology and a detailed analysis of the many mistakes made.
