“When I was 3 years old, Mom dressed us up like little cowboys and we went down to Lancaster Blvd to watch the parade.
That was 1965. The fair lasted for two weeks, Lancaster Blvd had one lane in each direction with nothing in the middle, it was still called the Alfalfa Festival and life was good.
Now, no one even remembers that there used to be a parade, the fair is only for five days, and they don't even have livestock competition during the fair. It has just become a reason for some people to get drunk at a concert and stuff there faces with bad food. The carnival doesn't have any games from the past like the dime toss.
The one thing that is still popular is the Demolition Derby. But the cowboys are all gone and the alfalfa farmers are growing pot. So why not have a cannabis cup competition? It is legal in Lancaster to grow marijuana. Why not take advantage of that? Own it. Market it.
Think outside the box and try to bring back the past like the parade and the livestock.”
“Well since i built it from the ground up , I can tell you that it is a magical place for weddings and other events. It all started in 1986 when i bought the property .”
“I think my favorite thing about this place is the app. Buying tickets online and even ordering snacks to avoid the lines. The restrooms have always been clean and the staff has always been great.”
