A friend I went to school with is on the local fair board. The Lewis County Fair seems to be doing well. The tractor pull is the big money maker (santioned NTPA event). The carny people I've talked to seem to be happy with the proceeds they take in. I do know that the live entertainment is a continual money loser. Expenses are too high for the size of the grandstand space. Although I believe that the Charlie Daniels show did well this year (cost em over $50,000). In regard to rigged games, Almost all of the games in the Colman Bros. midway are winner every time games. (at least on the two children's days anyway) Coleman is one of the better carny outfits. We had another carny outfit do the fair when I was younger. They were the type of carny outfit described below. Our county fairs' fortunes started to improve almost immediately after they were given the boot. Ours is still a true rural fair yet. The kids still raise their own show animals. on the other hand, if it wasn't for the tractor pull..........................................................The demolition derby used to bring in good decent money, but I didn't ask Gary how it does nowdays. As far as food goes, At least 50% of the food stands are local restuarants who set up at the fair every year. They do very well. Free admission brings in a lot of people who eat dinner on their lunch breaks that wouldn't otherwise go.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
