More often than not, the complaints are fairly foolish and give the impression that the author is simply trolling. 

The negative is always louder than the positive and this is a prime example.

As a whole, I thought this year’s fair was great. My favourite moment was Saturday’s grandstand show featuring Las Vegas-based hair and metal tribute band Spandex Nation.

Chels may have originally been on the fence about attending, but that girl was singing along throughout the band’s entire two-hours-plus set.

Lead singer Kid Hollywood’s voice has a range reminiscent of David Lee Roth and Axl Rose, and his crowd interaction, both on and off stage, was a highlight of the night.

Saturday marked the band’s first-ever show in Canada and it sounds like the boys want to come back for more ketchup chips and coffee crisps!
