MoCo County fair. Good or a disaster?

Fair is amazing. Go for the animals and education. Avoid the demolition derby midway stuff

The butter sculpture carving event can be very rowdy... and knives!

Just because demo derby isn’t any good?

Isn’t the midway stuff all the rides and games?

I figured it *should* be a nice time, but knowing MoCo and all of the insanity that goes on in public schools, I just can't shake the suspicion that the county fair will devolve into a freakshow with tons of fights, shootings, open drug use and other shenanigans that will make it something you absolutely want to avoid with a family. Am I wrong? Worth going to?

Just stop already with your gas lights, you POS MAGA.

The fair has nothing to do with public schools. Shut the hell up.

The fair is absolutely fine.

Except for Sheehy coopting the Derby with their MAGA Christian Nationalist crap. No one needs a shitty church service at the Derby.

OMG OMG police are actually doing their jobs... What a horrible thing. Most of them are spending their time eating funnel cakes.

What's wrong with you?

What a great description!

Are you expecting a crowd in all white with sweater vests and loafers to an event where the main attractions are carnival rides and games and cars smashing into each other?

I mean it literally is an inland version of the Ocean City boardwalk…or maybe the Ocean City boardwalk is the seaside version of a county fair (not sure which came first).

You’re right. The agricultural fair in one of the wealthiest counties in the country is rife with fighting and drug use.

It’s a grand old time. I never saw any fights or drug use at the county fair. What even are these comments, Jesus

Yep. The rough streets of MoCo. Time to deploy the National Guard.

We spent most of Sunday there. Didn't see anything "rough" at all other than my husband getting a sunburn.

And this is in the local politics thread??

Last time I went there were a bunch of BLM signs and I’ll never forget the drag queen parade. Also, the security operations have been transitioned from the MoCo police to violence interrupters.
