Mississinewa. It draws an incredible number of people. Many visit the 100+ vendors.
Many come for the battles where the bleachers are full and then the crowd line the fences 4 or 5 deep. It is all quite remarkable!

Why is the #UnitedKingdom 🇬🇧 trying to squeeze a few pence out of struggling businesses instead of slightly raising taxes on more successful & profitable corporations, banks & affluent individuals in their country‽
The #UK 🇬🇧 might as well try to squeeze blood out of a stone!

There was a time it seemed almost any information you wanted to find was available online and would be forever.
Vast amounts of user content which seemed like permanent parts of internet culture have disappeared from Geocities & MySpace to Yahoo Groups & Tumblr’s adult content.

It was a good dream but it was a ZIRP
