The Rock Creek Fall Fair weekend was relatively uneventful for police, according to Midway Detachment Commander Cpl. Kevin Christensen. He reported that although there were several open liquor seizures, a few violation tickets handed out and a few alcohol-induced minor assaults reported to police, overall there were very few calls for service at the fair and it appeared everyone had a good time.
