Too hot to

go to fair

I'm calling about the article for the people who are doing fair that want the $2,000 Clinton Park overridden because they just break even. Did they ever think if they didn't have it on July 4th weekend when a lot of people are out of town and the elderly can't get around because of the heat and stuff and like if they switched it, say to September or October or November, they might break more than even? They could afford to pay the $2,000 if not more. Because I personally don't go because of the heat and I imagine I'm not the only one that stays home because of it. I think they seriously, instead of asking for a free hand out, they need better do what they can with their time and money and not have it in the hottest time of the summer.

Print needed

to be bigger

Hi. I appreciate that the DAR printed the Declaration of Independence, but I have a concern. The printing was too small for people who have trouble seeing. They might not be able to read it. Yes, they can go on the Internet and they can Google and everything else, but there's something to it to hold the newspaper in your hands that shows the nation's first document. Thank you.
