The midway was designated smoke free at the request of the company that provided the rides but that was nearly impossible to enforce (although Security and EX staff tried their best).
As for litter? There were lots of cans everywhere so I am surprised people didn't notice. EX staff did have people running around trying to keep up and they put an extra effort into the morning cleanup to try to have the place presentable befor noon. Sadly there are far too many slobs for them to keep up too. It's just the way PA is these days, no one cares to take two steps to put litter into garbage cans.
I personally would like to thank the PA EX staff and security for doing a good job. It's 4 days of hard work and a lot of it is done by volunteers so please be considerate and remember if you think you can do better there is lots of room for more volunteers.

I choose not to take any pride

I have been to many other exhibitions and the smoke free was strictly enforced and followed. I did not see any do not smoke signs at ALL.
The people who put on the rides make a lot of money and can well pay for 4 people to clean around the grounds. There were very few garbage cans.
Volunteers are the best people you can have! Give them an extra bonus for there efforts. The people who supply the rides should supply the clean up as well. That's how a well managed company should operate.

First of all there was close to 100 garbage cans on the grounds, so I really dont know how you couldnt see them. They were everywhere that you walked. I agree that there should be more designated smoking areas made up, but it is hard to reinforce this when there are hundreds of people smoking. Also the people that "choose to not take any pride" are usually the "slobs" that cannot walk a foot to throw their garbage away and choose to throw it on the ground. The exhibtion staff and volunteers work hard to make the fair run as smooth as possible weeks in advance. They deserve all the credit to the success of this fair.

Why can't we have a bylaw people handing out Fines for littering? They would make a pretty penny -- and then people might catch on and actually see the garbage cans.
