Governor Strickland Says No to Beer/Wine at Ohio State Fair

By On May 23, 2007 · 6 Comments

statefair.jpgStrickland announced today that he doesn’t want beer and wine served at the state fair.

I’m guessing this probably won’t impact his Sixty-eight percent approval rating ( “the highest initial gubernatorial approval rating recorded by the Ohio Poll in its 26-year history” ) – but it still puzzles me.

You can buy beer at other summertime destinations (Cedar Point, Kings Island, etc) and at other outdoor events (ComFest in Columbus, Rib Cookoff in Cleveland).

Why not offer limited sales of Ohio wines and beers for State Fair visitors too?

    And I’ll just have to bring my flask like I do every year.

    Maybe I’ll get a cool cell phone flask this year.

    Who am I kidding? I don’t go to the state far!

    Joe just blew it for a ton of geeks trying to get away with one. Cops monitor PB man. Damn!

    This is an odd decision. I don’t drink at festival events (despite the fact that I homebrew!) mostly because it multiplies the effects of the heat.

    Is there some kind of problem with alcohol-fueled violence at the state fair that I’m unaware of?
