[QUOTE="Paddledogger, post: 265054, member: 2876"] So with the ND State Fair starting up this weekend what are some of your thoughts of the management and master plan for the fairgrounds. Renae Korslien, who is the State Fair Manager, has been the face and voice on the forefront of eventually kicking or evicting the Ward County Historical Society "Pioneer Village" off the fairgrounds. Apparently it is the intentions that she wants to build some kind of center in the SW part of the fairgrounds. Not sure what kind of center! So they have pretty much kicked out the curling club, gymnastics club and all hockey moved over to the Mesa Center. So here's my question...who is next. Supposedly next be removed will the "the barns" once the dust settles after removing "pioneer village". It kind of strikes me that North Dakota is a agricultural state and the people are proud of ancestry history of how North Dakota was formed. The State Fair was a good opportunity for parents to take their kids over why eating a corndog or cheese curds and educate them on history. Then walk through the barns and show them where last nights steak, or the morning milk, eggs and bacon comes from. To me, the Fair Association/Board/Foundation is going int he wrong direction. I know this latest grievance with the Historical Society and moving them out toward Burlington has changed a lot of views of people in the Minot area. So for me...I would rather boycott the fair the year and possibly future years...until some preservation changes. Just my .02¢ Happy fishing and keep those lines tight! Good luck to anglers in this weekends Governors Cup. [/QUOTE]
