A Fair Complaint, Lost In Translation

Dear Mongoose,
this years fair was the worst i ever went to its rediculous to pay 10dollars to get in and ride the rides they had my kids barely rode anything  why cant edmonson county ever have anhything good here.

Dear I Need Google Translate To Read Your Question,

First off, I got this same question last year and I'm going to give the same basic answer. Second, spell check and basic grammar are wonderful concepts and I suggest everyone use them. Third, let's go back to number one. I don't go to the fair but my wife takes our kids there on Fair Day. Is it the best fair around? No. Do my kids get $10 worth of fun there? In spite of the smell of deep fried butter and puke, yes. I know the guys that run the Lions Club and the man that organizes the fair. They are some of the best guys I know and the only reason they do what they do (volunteer hundreds of hours of their own time) is to raise money for the Lions Club which helps some great local causes. Those guys have their hands full because the Lions Club is slowly going away. Why? No one wants to put in the work to help. It's much easier for someone to write a letter to an advice column than it is to actually volunteer with hard work or try to lend a helping hand. My advice to you: Either try to help the situation or don't go to the fair. No one is forcing you to go. Maybe spend your $10 on an English tutor next time.
