Both ev «nts have proven to be crowd pleasers over the years, Daley noted. Advance tickets for both nights are on sale at the fair office weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. And Daley said if sales are true to form, sellouts for both events are expected long before the smashing begins.

license plates that is designed to improve agency record keeping and eliminate the possibility of fraudulent use by local officials. "Under the old procedure, it was possible to have a private vehicle registered with a municipal license plate,” said BMV Commissioner Gilbert L. Holmes. “Now, a title must indicate that the vehicle is owned or leased by a city or town government before a municipal license plate will be issued.” Also, the base color of the license plate has been changed to blue to bright yellow for easier detection. Under the new system, registration records for governmentowned vehicles are entered on a computerized system, accessible to law enforcement officials in the event they wish to investigate a vehicle registration. “The improvements made in the procedure for municipal license plates will protect the integrity of the program and ensure the public that the plates will only be issued for use by vehicles owned by municipalities,” said Commissioner Holmes.
