It looks like there will be two frustrating nights for Fair fans competing for access and parking with people coming in for a concert at the Mistake-By-The-Lake amphitheater. The Hound has been told that Fair administration thinks the status quo is acceptable. Of course, they aren’t the ones sitting in a line of traffic for an hour or two.

There’s been more than enough said on State Fair Hound about this issue. Two large events that depend upon the same roadways to enter the same lots for parking, running simultaneously will inevitably sow chaos. We’ve seen it before and we’ll see it again, this year on both Thursdays, Aug. 21 and Aug. 28. Try to avoid entering in late afternoon and early evening on those two days.
