I think the big point is that a lot of our fairs are more than just agricultural ones now. Unfortunately, the ones that have shut down have done so because they haven't diversified, whereas, if you look at other fairs they have other components. They have local artists whom they're showcasing. They bring education to the table. They bring communities together. We are so much more than the agricultural fair we were 100 years ago, and there's so much to do. There are the midways, there are competitions for local artists and artisans, and all sorts of stuff. We're stuck with the stigma of being agricultural fairs, but we're so much more than that. We are fairs.
