I take it you don't have kids in school. The last day of school is June 3rd.
Didn't the fair used to be in late August or Sept .? Now I'm talking years ago .
I was just a few years ago that it was in Aug. The people who run the fair grounds had this big idea to move it to June so that they could get better singers for a cheaper price and better rides. Then they started making you pay to see the singing if you sat in the grandstand. I also heard they want to move it back to Aug. but they have to wait until the contract is up with the JH Drew so that they can move it back to Aug.
Who do they have coming to perform this year?
JIB is out June 11Quote:

Since the Fair moved to June, it has gone straight down hill. THE BIGGEST MISTAKE IN THE FAIR COMMITTEE'S HISTORY. The entertainment is never the caliber it used to be. I mean, you can only listen to just "so much" Goose Creek Symphony.
Even the August fair wasn't worth going to. You can only do so much with that craphole.
Best part about going was having to walk through sewage when their storage tanks overflowed.
It was on the downslide for a while and when they moved it to June that just made it an absolute free fall.
They need to bring back the hootchie cootchie show or whatever they were called. My papaw used to tell me about them
LOL@ hootchie cootchieQuote:

He would also perform this stunt live and the number would climax with Dupree slicing up a wooden stool onstage, smashing it, and throwing the sliced pieces out to the crowd. He once had been asked, "How the hell can you play a chainsaw?" to which he responded, "How the hell can you not play a chainsaw?" :D ok ok i know
When has that fair ever been good? The only thing that's really changed is a couple of rides, unless you're a child, it's really not fun at all...I haven't rode a ride there in years, I was probably 11/12. I go there to socialize, that's it, there's nothing there. When it changed to June, it didn't really make a difference IMO. Sucked in August, sucks in June. It's about as bad as Russell Co. fair, okay place to take your kid, but that's it.
well, I guess it is really driven for the kids anyway. the adults are just along for the ride and to see the kids have a good time. if you don't have kids you really can't understand how watching your kids light up is priceless.
Im all about a hootchie cootchie show now.
They should serve beer at the fair. Have something for adults in the evening or something. Like broadway at the beach except out in hurricane for 1 week
