County fair reaction

I'm curious what people liked or disliked about this year's fair since there were several changes, including the parade route, several livestock show changes, etc. I'd like to hear the good and the bad.

Primary results

Just a quick list of results:

Washington pool vote (1.2% sales tax) lost by 10 votes - 245-255. Wow. That was close.

Of the other county races:
Republican county commission - Roger Otott, 489; Kathryn Stigge, 168
Democrat county commission - Brad Owen, 50; Mike Uhlrich, 42
County sheriff - Bill Overbeck, 852; Jim Mueller, 664
County treasurer - Ann Hawk, 636; Larry Stigge, 571; Christina Metz, 319
Taddiken won easily in his Senate race
Bill Pannbacker won the county easily over Kathy Martin (1120 to 395), but lost overall 15329 to 14149.
