It's a huge event lasting 17 days, starting today and winding up the first week of October. My father's family has had concessions there (Food, Beer, Wine, etc) since before I was born. When I was about 18 my grandad started having me help him with the Cigarette end of it. We had machines then (since removed because of Minor's having access to them, it's a town ordinance and with good reason) until a few years ago when we switched to selling them out of the back window of our main food building. I also sell Beer and Drinks (Soda, water etc.). In the beginning I would work every day, but in the past few years I've reduced my time spent there to weekends, and partial days at that. It's my business, I pay someone to work the window when I'm not there, and I keep 100% of the profit. Since we are basically the only Tobacco vendor at the fair it helps out finances every October. Anyway... They usually have some semi big Musical acts, although this year's highlighted artist I've never heard of (not surprising as I know nothing of Country Music)
