For the second day of the first Fallen Heroes Memorial Fair in Pittston Township the turnout has been dismal.
The fair raises money for non-profit organizations that provide financial assistance and other help to families whose loved ones have died in the line of duty.
Organizers said they started planning this event about six months ago and advertised in newspapers and on billboards. "We have over 200 ads going on radio, we have advertisements in the papers," said organizer Mike Kreidler.
The Kraft family from Nanticoke heard about the event on the radio. "There's nobody here, they need to come out. They need to be here to support the cause, said Stephanie Kraft.
"It's a shame," said Fred Kraft.
Employees said they sold only one ticket on the opening night of the fair. On day two, two hours in, they had not even sold a dozen tickets.
"It's disappointing right now, but I'm sure things will get better," said organizer Mike Kreidler.
Joshua Miller's widow Angie and her family came to support the cause.
"I'm passionate because this is our chance to pay it forward to families who are suffering, or in the future will deal with the same tragedy that our family had," said Angie Miller of Pittston Township.
The Fallen Heroes Memorial Fair runs every evening through Labor Day at the Northeast Fairgrounds in Pittston Township. It is $2 to get in the door and $10 for rides.
