of the things that were seen at the 1980. Cleveland County Fair, Sept. 26 — Oct. 4. This year’s fair was again a suc- cess in spite of the rain Sunday, Mon- day, and Tuesday. Many changes were made in the fair this year. Last year’s ever-popular “Hymalaya’”’ was replaced with the “Flying Bobs.” The ‘“Skydiver” and “Superloops”’ returned once again. “The Superloops” to me was like a head rush.” said Celeste Harkey. A new ride which was probably the most popular, the ‘‘Sea Dragon”’, was added. This ride, a giant viking ship that swings back and forth, high into the air, features rock-n-roll music, so it is easily seen and heard. This is why it is such a favorite. Sometimes it can cost a lot of money to go to the fair. The entrance fee is $2.00. Rides range in price from about $.70 to $1.40. Food and games just add to the bill. This year people who went to the fair had a chance to save money. Fair officials offered an ‘‘armband special”’.
