no corn dogs yet, but a root beer float
Mike and I enjoyed the Jennings County Fair last evening. It was quite a bit different from Dearborn County. There were few families enjoying the rides but a far greater emphasis on small business. We enjoyed this angle since Libertarians are, by far, the friendliest of the political parties for small business. We heard a number of stories about bureaucracy and fees. Soup Campbell's anecdotes were especially chilling-- both for the individual and in imagining their effect on the economy, job creation, and wages.
