I must say that the issue of transportation is very important. I feel
that for some people walking or riding there bikes to and from the park
with there family is part of the neuance of the fairs.
Many people go back an forth several times a day and if they were to be
in cars I feel it could be the result of many an unwanted accident.
Guy Wicks field isn't much of an alternative, no shade, they water with
waste water from the disposal plant (over water!).
I think that this whole issue is just the tip of the iceburg for opening
up more time waisters for the city and county officials.
