Parking at the Fair

Today at the state fair there were lighted signs saying that all parking on the fair grounds had been taken. That meant the people had to find other places to park, such as street parking and private yards. There were many people in the neighborhoods around the fair grounds that had signs in their yards or were standing in the yard trying to attract those who needed parking spaces. The prices were typically six to eight dollars for parking. In the past the state troopers who worked the fair would be able to park inside the grounds but this year they too had to find parking in the lots like everyone else.
