ON THE STREET

This week the Southeast Missourian asked, "What do you like about the 143rd annual SEMO District Fair?"

Connie Sharrock, Scott City

"I'd say the people and the animals. I have lots of animals at home but not lots of people."

Ashley Kutz, Perryville

"The horse show because we show in it. The rides and the demolition derby."

Elizabeth Seesing, Cape Girardeau

"The farm exhibits. I like to see all the different animals."

Hannah Seesing, Cape Girardeau

"I like the rides. The candy and stuff."

Rich Newman, Scott City

"The best thing I like about the fair is the food. It reminds me of growing up. I like the rides, especially the big loop ... whatever it's called ... the Ring of Fire."
