September 29, 2005
Does anybody know what time it is? Time for the 83rd annual Maui County Fair in Wailuku!. Tickets are only $3.50 for adults and $1 for keiki. The event focuses on family and thus is alcohol-free. You know what that means: TAILGATE beforehand! Just kidding. If they've been doing it dry for 83 years, it must be clean fun. The redeeming qualities shouldn't be overlooked; educational opportunities abound and it's actually the primary source of funding for many of Maui's nonprofit and community organizations. So be a good Samaritan, come enjoy that one-of-a-kind fair food, music, games and joviality. I never thought anything would top the last county fair I attended. I bounced inside a giant inflated balloon-house, lost my entire piggy-bank (upwards of $7) gambling on an addictive quarter-slot game and Bingo, saw some awe-inspiring fireworks and my middle-school boyfriend won me a goldfish-which lived for almost three days! You just never know what will go down at these things, besides your dollars that is. But hey, it's all for a great cause! The parade begins at 4:30 p.m. Thursday. Open Thu, 4: 30-11 p.m.; Fri, 5 p.m.-midnight; Sat, 10 a.m.-midnight; Sun, 10 a.m.-11 p.m. For info, call 242-2721. [MOLLY RETTIG]
