sales.
At the Fairgrounds outlet on May 1, if you
are in line between 9:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., you
will be given a ticket for a random number drawing
to be held to see who will be first in line.
Following the drawing of one ticket, those
with higher numbers will follow behind in order of
their number, with the number lower than that
selected behind them.
Anyone
arriving after 9:30 a.m. will not be included in the
drawing and will be behind those holding tickets.
