It surely wasn&#8217;t publicized for the average undecided voter to have a chance to meet the candidate. <strong>Thumbs DOWN!<\/strong> to that idea especially in a race where apathy is king.<\/li>\n<li>I had missed the last few years of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.halifaxcountyfair.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Halifax County Fair<\/a> due to other obligations and was looking forward to seeing what it looked like under new management. I had heard that the fair was dying and each year it was getting less and less interesting, but I&#8217;m here to tell you that&#8217;s totally wrong. <strong>Thumbs UP!<\/strong> to James Edmunds and Todd Moser for putting a lot of effort into revitalizing an event that is a part of Halifax County history. The fair finishes its run on Friday night &amp; Saturday and you need to go. Seriously. It&#8217;s highly family-friendly entertainment and well worth the $6 admission charge.<\/li>\n<li>Speaking of annual events, <strong>Thumbs UP!<\/strong> to the 3rd edition of Danville&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.riverdistrictfestival.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">River District Festival<\/a>. It&#8217;s a growing event and it&#8217;s Danville&#8217;s only street festival. I&#8217;m going to give a mild <strong>Thumbs DOWN!<\/strong> to their website that I just linked to because that could use some major renovations to make it look attractive.
