I still wonder what would have been the outcome if they hadn't had the break.
Appearance of the infield was the worst I have ever seen. It hadn't been mowed and it really presented a bad image of the fair.
Parking was raised to $7, so maybe they generated enough money to properly care for the grounds.
The horse stables appeared to be freshly painted, and that was a definite positive
Weather was great and we had a good time, but it seems DD just can't buy a win at DuQuoin.

Ron,
The State of Illinois it seems is hurting worse from the economic situation that Indiana is. Most of our travel down to DuQuoin is by interstate and the medians don't look like they have been mown this summer. I also noticed that there were fewer state troopers on the fairgrounds as in the past.
