Please dont mention the Eiisner name on this thread. Yes I do blame him for the massacre that took place back in 1993. The Jersey Corn Fair started to have problems 2 years before the blood bath of 93. Funding for the fair started to dry up, the number of vendors hawking corn related products dipped to a new low, the corn vendors were actually replaced by a group of foreign vendors who specialized in cheap smilie like products. (I think they were Canadian) The fair was just not the same it started to get that South of the Boarder like feel. My God the bathrooms were even worse then SotBs.
In 1992 my friends and I actually left the fair early. Seems Eiisner weaseled his wife into the Miss Corn pageant lineup. You will never guess who the winner was. Yes it was Tasty Eiisner the ex-computer programmer. She was ok to look at but she is no corn girl. She just didnt have that hot
er..I mean wholesome look of those 18-year-old corn girls.
In 1993 the year of the horror things hit rock bottom. If you look at picture 2 from my massacre post you will see a white tent. That tent was the 1993 Jersey Corn Palace. Sad is one word to describe it. We use to have a palace like this one from the Mitchell, South Dakota Corn Festival. Now all we have is a stinking white tent.
Eisner and his crew really ruined the Jersey Corn Fair. We found out later on that Uncle Mikey threatened the Corn Palace builders union. He told them they would never work in the Corn Palace industry again if they built that Jersey Corn Palace.
Funny thing is Corn Fairs and Festivals are taking place all over the country with no problems. It looks like Mike for some unknown reason does not want corn to be king in New Jersey. The only thing I could think of was that incident with the corncob at that preppy boys school he attended in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. Those upper grade boys had no right to use that corncob in the manner in which they did. I could see why Mike might be just a little mad..but to take it out on all Jersey corn lovers is going a bit too far. Why doesnt he just track down his rich prep school buddies and deal with then on a one on one basis.
I am so upset I cant even continue typing
