Go woke, go broke. Fair Park needs bailout!

For-profit managing Fair Park reveals $2 million shortfall, may need city bailout

Gee, that’s just too bad.
Times, they are changing.
Many have no interest in visiting what used to be an interesting place, since turned crapper.

Rather than a bailout, it needs to operate within a budget

 

[Fishkiller]

Run by bureaucrats and government types. What would you expect

 

[Sam Colt]

I would expect to be able to bring my side arm.

I disagree on the descriptive term "crapper" of Fair Park. Most folks I know still love visiting the Fair each year. A real Texan looks forward to at least one Fletcher's Corn Dog and a beer each year. Some of the buildings need some upkeep and maintenance but so do most of us. The $$ will work itself out, no BS corruption going on.

Aren't these the same clowns that kicked out the RailRoad Museum (now in Frisco, who warmly welcomed them) several years ago? And have had a years-long history of making the area as unattractive as possible?

zOnly time I went was years ago (1970) was decent. Had cooking contests, chicken raising contests. It WAS a fair. Now just a giant food court.

Well, in all honestly it would really suck if their no guns policy chased away more people and that shortfall became even larger.

Hopefully, the state has enough common sense to let them go the way if the do-do bird.
