Du Quoin Fair Faces Change Without Hambletonian
The Du Quoin State Fair weighs a bold plan including a year round amusement park near a rock mountain with water slides and a convention center while preserving the Hambletonian. Critics warn a big theme park could erode the fair’s classic aura and risk the trotting classic’s future, urging careful public feedback on bids and museum ideas.

Carter’s pollster sees moral revival as nation’s path
Patrick Hayward Caddell, Jimmy Carter’s pollster, argues for a moral and spiritual regeneration amid Malaise era claims. He says polls guide but do not shape policy and notes Carter’s high integrity could offset weak handling of crises. Caddell’s influence roots in 1976 campaign, with Cambridge Survey Research serving Exxon, Westinghouse, Sears, and the DNC among major clients.
