JULY 25. MYRTLE POINT, OR. Last night a bunch of hoodlums calling themselves "The Pink Hat" gang robbed a number of vendors after the fair closed down and intimidated and threatened several other people and there was some outright vanndalism. Supposedly a group called the Pink Hats has been been frequenting this event and were free to road at will since there was inadequate security at that time and poor lighting.
Where was the security force at? I have no idea. One of the vandals was caught with drugs on him and supposedly he was the only one taken in, because he was on parole. This whole thing is one ugly mess. The Fair promises to have added security next year, along with spotlights, but I am afraid that the vendors will have to foot the bill with increased booth fees.
I never knew that Myrtle Point had these kind of problems.

Coos County Fair
Myrtle Point, July 22-26. Please visit us at the Coos County Fair in Oregon, Just south east of Coos Bay. This is our 5th year for this event and it gets more enjoyable each year. Very friendly vendors and good food. Last year's attendance went up to 43,000 and hopefully even more this year.
The name of our business is DandL CREATIONS and we sell shoulder/sling bags, which come in many colors and designs. You'll just love them. Some people buy two, three, etc. Great gifts and only $12.00 apiece. A wonderful buy. We also sell wrap-around skirts and pants, fanny packs, small stools and a whole lot more. So people, come on over and see us. Looks like the weather is going to be great and pretty much cooperative. See ya there!!!
Marsalee's Thai Food is great. I always see a long line over there, sometimes over 30 people at a time waiting. There's a pizza trailer there also and their cheese and pepperoni pizza reminds me of Maruca's in Seaside Heights, NJ. There's decent breafasts over there at the counter. And the Philly Cheesteaks's are okay. Nobody can match the steak sandwiches I've had back east, but these are really decent.
Here's a website with info on the fair: http://fair.coquillevalley.org/#events
I guess that this one is their official website, but they are very slow in putting up info for people to see: http://www.co.coos.or.us/coosfair/
