As a single adult, there's really nothing of interest. No home arts, no baking contests, hardly any vendors of interest. There need to be more activities and displays of interest to adults. If you've seen one cow, you've seen 'em all.

Max DeYoung

And, you don't need a Kevlar vest.

Christopher Watson

Way too expensive for me, besides it's nothing like it was when I was a kid, mostly boaring if you ask me.

Are you planning on visiting the Boone County Fair this week or weekend?

With temperatures hoovering above 100 degrees, it will be far too hot to wear an N95 mask and a Kevlar jacket.

Bonnie Sandker

It's too hot, expensive and not much there I'm interested in.. Haven't been except when it was in Sturgeon for several years.

Jennifer M

He's got a valid point

Lisa Gore

I never go.

Gary Johnson

To hot...to expensive and not much there.

Jack L

Not much there of interest to adults. Kids may enjoy it.

Christopher Watson

Too much money for the cost and parking, not to mention being out in the heat. Need to save money right now!

I find the painting of famous Native American hunter pointing a rifle at a man preticuly racist.

Rachel Brekhus

Civic art need not be eternal, especially if it is meant to tell a story, as this art is. Time to support new artists and reconsider the impact of the visuals we choose for our public spaces.

One lawyer told ABC 17 News that while the murals can be offensive, that's the point and they should stay.

We need to be reminded of the past and the progress made from those events. Proposals of this ilk simply appease those with personal agendas who feel they are more important than history itself. They feel they are more important than than the rest of us when in reality we are aware they are not.

Matt Goodsell

History can be ugly, but removing the reality of it would be much worse! Denying history would translate to a repeat of it.

Mary Perrey

We should not be destroying history. It is important to see just how far we have come in so many ways. Those murals help demonstrate that.

Becky

You cannot erase history....those that do are doomed to repeat it.

Amanda McCutcheon

Its simple ITS HISTORY
