Well, actually, this year there won’t be one. Every year we pay for a booth, set up a tent, schlepp supplies down, watch the water run under our tent when it rains (because our space is always over a drain), and listen to insults from the Republicans from their booth across the midway.
People who come to the fair don’t seem to be much interested in politics. They come to hear the music, eat deep-fried Oreos, look at the 4-H kids’ animals, and have a good time. I’ll bet there isn’t one in 500 who says, “I can’t wait to get to the fair and check out the political booths.”
So this year during fair week, the Democrats are planning to canvass three boroughs, talking to voters, handing out literature, and raising the profile of the party. I think it is a much better strategy, and I am totally in favor.
