On Oct. 3 and 4, Kentuckians for Single Payer Health Care took their message to the Fairdale Fair where country music singers with ample amplification played in the carnival atmosphere.

Paul Hoppe, known as Mike in Fairdale, hails from there and did the work to set up and staff the booth. Jill Harmer, working from her wheelchair, reached out to everyone with a smile. She used her fluent Spanish to tell a family of the free clinic where she does translation.

While a few were distracted by the media barrage blaming immigrants for everything, more were concerned about health care and many signed the single payer petition.
