2012 Coconino County Fair Vendor Applications Available

Posted on by

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — While snow still fills parts of Coconino County’s Ft. Tuthill Park, the Parks & Recreation Department is already gearing up for the 2012 County Fair, held Aug. 31 to Sept. 3.

Parks & Recreation officials hope the upcoming fair will surpass the 2011 event, which saw more than 45,500 attendees over four days. To prepare for the upcoming 63rd Annual Coconino County Fair, the County is now accepting vendor applications for food, commercial business and non-profit organizations.

In an effort to promote local products and services, an early bird rate is being extended to County‐based businesses only. Interested business owners and operators are encouraged to submit a vendor application by May 1 to take advantage of a 50-percent early bird discount for midway and outdoor booth locations.

Vendor applications are available on the Coconino County Parks & Recreation’s website at: www.coconino.az.gov/parks.

The following links will take interested vendors directly to the application packet:

Sign the Declaration of Independence

Posted on by

The National Archives has devised an interesting way to be a part of history. Or to collect names for the next edition of the Department of Homeland Security Domestic Terrorist magazine. You can now sign the Declaration of Independence. Ironically, they even warn you.

Wonder what happens if you decide not to sign?

The Declaration of Independence was ratified by adopting the Lee Resolution for Independence with only New York not voting. After some minor changes by Franklin and Adams, according to the web site, it was declared officially adopted on July 4th 235 years ago in 1776.

Their Charters of Freedom web site has photographic images and text transcripts of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. At the bottom of that page is a button which takes you to a page with another link to sign and other links to information about the signers and a timeline for the events surrounding the Declaration.

You can elect to sign the document in three different fonts; Colonist, American and Patriot. You can print on a color or black-and-white printer. Make sure you used the print link at the bottom of the page and do not try to print from your browser print function. Flash is required to use the program.

And you thought that investment in parchment paper was foolish.

Direct link to start signing.

If you are one of those who have been sinking your retirement into the $1 investments hoping for a return of $20-million or more, tomorrow your payments will increase. The price of the Powerball ticket will rise to two-dollars. The price of the Mega-millions, The Pick and other games remains the same.

The Arizona Lottery urges you to play responsibly, just pay more.

I don’t make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.—Will Rogers

While walking down the street one day a Corrupt Senator (that may be redundant) was tragically hit by a car and died.

His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.

“Welcome to heaven,” says St.. Peter. “Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we’re not sure what to do with you.”

“No problem, just let me in,” says the Senator.

“Well, I’d like to, but I have orders from the higher ups. What we’ll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.”

“Really?, I’ve made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,” says the Senator.

“I’m sorry, but we have our rules.”
