Wilson County fair, opening night

[seez52]

I went to the Wilson County Fair last night, man was it crowded. Lots of PD there. They really seem to have the parking set up nicely. Lots of good stuff to do there, I can see why they win national awards. 

Did notice their no weapons posting as I went in.

Were there any metal detectors or were they wanding people?

I have been just about every year in the past, no wands. Have not been this year yet.

Looks like someone may have not paid any attention to the sign.

News is now saying the reports of shots fired was false alarm.

Regardless - this is why we can’t have nice things...

Yep. There was a written statement from the Police. No gunfire. Just an accidental discharge of bad journalism.

I agree with you Mac, there is always a few people wantin to ruin a nice thing for the many. The fair is suppose to be a fun time for people of all ages but some people just can;t let it happen without trying to mess it up for all.....JMHO

There are no accidental discharges, only negligent ones.

Your going to have this type of thing when the fairgrounds are within walking distance of public housing.
