What do you think about the state cutting fair funding?

Did you know that Pennsylvania provides funding for roughly 150 fairs. The funding used to be in the neighborhood of $6 to $7 million.  Now it is less than $1 million.  There have been fairs who had to close down due to a lack of funding.  What a crime this is!  Fairs have been a part of American tradition for generations. Doesn't our government realize how important fairs are? Fairs bring communities together, they support agriculture, they invite adults, kids, 4-H, FFA to enter into contest. Fair enable people to apart of something. Now our Government is trying to inflict stricter rules and regulations on Fairs!  WHY? We need your help, we need you to contact your local officials and let them here your voice.  We want to continue to have our fairs we want to remain apart of our American Heritage.
