Fair? What Fair?

This year north Iowans were in for a suprise because the company that furnished the rides canceled. They still had the car races and food stands along with the livestock judging but no Ferris Wheel or any other rides. I've heard several reasons for them not showing up but I'm not sure what the truth is. All I know is it wasn't much of a fair this year and if it happens again next year there may never be a good fair again.
