Video thread - the evacuation of the Great American State Fair on July 4 took well over an hour. A little after 6:30, they started to shut down the main stage. People largely stayed in their spots as the automated message announcing the fair was closing played on repeat.

<p class="text-xs text-slate-350 leading-relaxed break-words">But the fly overs never stopped! People cheered on the planes, played catch, and continued to enjoy the fair. I asked a Marshal if they were really closing. Yes, but &quot;no one gives a rats ass,&quot; he said.
At 7:30, National Guard started to usher people out.</p>

<p class="text-xs text-slate-350 leading-relaxed break-words">At 7:42, motorcycle cops showed up. At this point, they were already threatening to arrest people for refusing to leave over at the separate, more secure zone around the Washington Monument.
I left the premises at 8:08 -- 1 hour and 10 min after the first closure announcement.</p>
