I'm not involved except as a spectator. Years ago the Dearborn County Fair (Indiana) ran 2 weeks, the first week 4-H and the second week the general fair. Preachers objected to the girly shows and beer tents and gambling, the fraternal organization running the fair said they couldn't run the fair without the income from "adult" entertainment and shut down the fair.
After a couple of years the fair was restarted as the 4-H and Community Fair, it is 1 week long, there is 4-H, a small midway, a free stage, and the grandstand shows. There is no charge for admission or parking, and there are ride specials many days. Different days have different sponsors. There is no problem with rowdy visitors as the fair is dry. As far as I know there is no tax money involved, although the Dearborn County Foundation may give some support.
On a related issue, the Indiana State Fair expanded to 15 days to better handle the crowds and to handle more livestock without building more barns. Yesterday was Turkey Hill Ice Cream Day with $2 admission, all the food booths had a $2 item for the day, and all rides on the midway were also $2. I had a $2 elephant ear, it was smaller than the regular $5 ear, but it was big enough for me.

Times were not always like this. I can remember back to 1948 when I was a brand new John Deere Model M. A man and his wife came to the dealer and looked me over real good. After many talks with the salesman a deal was struck and I, along with a M2 plow, c
