1. While we are at it…

   Those are not milkshakes in the dairy building, that is soft-serve ice cream.

2. I’d say the Rauner Crew and appointees are mailing it in but that would be to disparaging to people who actually… mail it in.

   The Rauners, the Crew, those who see things honestly, they’re tired, they’re “done”, they seem to want this over?

   Is that how you get such gross negligence?

   How can the obvious errors, for example “every day is Friday” be glossed over as just simple errors?

   Is the fair for the “simple folk” Rauner mocks, so why take it seriously?

3. Somewhere ck is laughing at all of this.

4. Given Raunerworld failures, it could have been worse. They could have made every day Monday.

5. Clearly, the BTIA(TM) fair squad has a secret beer tent they are working out of. Maybe moonshine tent.

6. If it’s this bad in the Governor’s back yard what can we expect at the DuQuoin State Fair…oh my!

7. Looks like the BTIA has gotten a head start on the whole legal weed thingy.

8. @Dance Band on the Titanic-she is laughing out loud.

   Comment by Flynn's Mom Monday, Aug 13, 18 @ 10:24 am

9. Dance Band, somewhere a lot of Rauner alums are laughing at this.

10. It’s precisely because of this kind of attention to detail, excellent planning and keen eye on the ball that makes it no surprise they’ve raised tens of dollars from corporate partners to rebuild the fairgrounds. Yessir, this is how a businessman governs. The sky’s the limit with a team like this.

11. I hoped there would be misspellings and unforced staff errors, and I hope that my staff will be prosecuted. /s fakebrucerauner

12. These explain a . lot. Here I thought they were mean and uncaring and in fact they are simply incompetent.

    Comment by JS Mill Monday, Aug 13, 18 @ 11:13 am

13. Mailing it in.
    Looks like a group of folks more concerned about sending out Careerbuilder resume’s than actually running an office.

14. So presumably the State Fair is where Rauner could exert almost total control, if he wanted to, which exactly what he wants from state government. And yet..

    Comment by Albany Park Patriot Monday, Aug 13, 18 @ 11:22 am

15. And at the Tribune Editorial Board, Kristen McQueary must be wishing for the State Fair to be leveled by its own Hurricane Katrina.

16. I hope the Butter Cow has committed a crime and is duly punished.

17. The butter cow livestream still requires Flash player… in 2018.

18. On the other hand, I’m sure Illinois State Fair notices never got this much attention. According to plan? /s

19. I wonder if they’re having a “spot the mistake” contest, but forgot to publicize it.

    Comment by JoanP Monday, Aug 13, 18 @ 2:27 pm

20. “Hello, John Slayton? How much do you think you could raise in the next 12 hours to get us a proofreader for the Fair?”

21. Rebecca is one of the best Communication people at any Agency. Can we please have nothing published until she OKs it?

    Comment by am i blocked Monday, Aug 13, 18 @ 3:17 pm

22. They have a new communication team and it shows!

23. The Marquis de Rauner

    Comment by DuPage Bard Monday, Aug 13, 18 @ 4:53 pm

24. When you don’t care about institutional memory and just parachute-in inexperienced folks… you get this. I can’t recall quite this many mistakes in a fair under Becky Doyle, do you?
