I always wanted to know what was wrong. They could never find anything wrong with her until this.

She just enjoyed her son more than anything in life. She never had any regrets, ever.

It was an excellent fair, it went very smoothly. We just wish there were more people to enjoy it, but I guess that's always something you want.

Every year we do a lot of necessary maintenance work, many things you can't see. It's a year-round improvement process.

Subdued has been the word I've heard to describe the general feeling of people here at the fair. I don't know if it's gas prices or things our nation is going through. But fair attendance is down about 10 percent statewide. If it becomes a trend, it'll be something to address.

This year's fair went very, very well. It went very smoothly.
