LA County Fair Screws Up Again! Seniors Revolt!

They've done it again! In their continuing effort to tick me off, and other seniors, the LA County Fair announced this week they will no longer offer shuttle service around the fair for people, only using them from the Parking Lot to fair gates. (See Daily Bulletin article on Wed by David Allen).

According to Wendy Talarico in the article, whom I know, people using the shuttles are stuck on them for long times, and it is so crowded with people who walk, it takes too long. I luv ya Wendy, but Bull hockey!

You have just effectively eliminated seniors going to the fair this year!

And this is not the only thing they've done over the years to make it harder for seniors.

Why don't you just say it -- you don't want seniors, and basically, you don't care about us. I know, your market skews younger. But don't give us the lip service of "senior days" when you make it more difficult every year.

By the way, Fairplex, I'm sure you'll call all the ALs and big companies to get them to send buses and buy tickets to the fair. Why should they? You just made it harder for people to get around.

Note: Most of this info on what they decided was gleaned from David Allen's Daily Bulletin Wed. Article.

So, call the Fair, tell them how upset you are about "no trams for seniors", and when they tell you "will you buy group tickets", tell them thanks but no thanks. The only way they understand things is in the pocketbook. If you're really upset, call the head honcho Dale and tell him you're upset. As a friend of mine used to say "Grey Power!"
