The 78th Annual Four States Fair and Rodeo is just around the corner.
The bright lights of the midway will kick off this years run on he last day of the month.
It's been a Texarkana tradition since the 1940s and, for most of that time, was held in the fall. Indeed, that's traditionally been the time most state, county and regional fairs -- originally harvest festivals -- are held. But thanks to the COVID--19 pandemic, in 2021 the fair's run was moved to the spring.
Some like that better. Others prefer the more traditional fall fair.
We want to know what you think. Do you prefer the Four States Fair in the spring or would you prefer the event returned to it's fall roots?

Last Week: Sunday Sales?
Last week's question was about a Texas proposal to allow sales of pre-made cocktails on Sunday. Should Texas grocery and convenience stores be allowed to sell ready-to-drink packaged cocktails on Sunday or not? Do you think the larger ban on Sunday liquor sales will be repealed anytime soon?

- Might as well repeal it and let everyone sell everything all week long.
- Just repeal it and let folks decide to police themselves on Sundays if they want
