I think the New Holland Fair Association should now take some time to think about those people who have to live inside that fair area, particularly those of us who live on E Franklin St, who can't for 4 days park anywhere near our building because they take up our parking spaces with petting zoos and Rides. Though it was nice of them to allow us to get to our parking lot, so long as were in there by 3pm, which is great for those of us who have to work for a living and can not get home until 530 or later. Not to mention living with the trash that is strewn all over the sidewalks, and the chords that run everywhere which make it difficult to move a stoller towards the car we had to park blocks away because we didnt get home in time to park at the building we pay rent for.

Waaaaaaaa!!!! You live in an area that has had a fair for 82 years! Don't ya think you should have thought of that before you moved in??? I live a block away from our town fair and I love it! It provides economic stimulus to our area, draws 100,000 people and promotes our town as a great place to live!

Suck it up it's four days out of 365. And will be a presence in your town way after you are gone.

You don't by chance live in the apartments in the converted New Holland Machine Company building? Man, that place is in the National Historic registry. And the rent is low, isn't it? You're a very fortunate person.
But let's complain that a few thousand families having fun for four days a year causes you slight inconvenience (having to walk a few blocks-Gasp-the horror).
