Change in Calhoun County fair entrance urged by reader
A letter from A Memaen to the editor proposes changing the Calhoun County Agricultural Society admission to family tickets valid every day. The writer argues the current membership ticket excludes many families due to cost, reducing attendance and harming the fair’s finances. A universal family ticket could boost daily crowds, increase treasury funds, and renew community support for the county enterprise.
