This is in response to Sandey Brandon’s “Sound Off” published Jan. 30.

My letter said nothing about the Langley fair receiving tax dollars.

My letter said: “Langley fairgrounds are located on county property … facilities need repair or replacement … traffic congestion and parking are problems … many go to other county fairs because they have superior facilities and amenities.”

My idea was merging the Island County Fair in Langley with Greenbank Farm would: Reduce operating costs and improve attendance and income. The county should sell the Langley property to fund the merger.
