A 110-foot Ferris wheel is the centerpiece of the Great American State Fair currently come to town in our nation’s capital, which is not a state the last time I checked. It is the brainchild of Freedom 250, an organization overseeing—or, rather, botching—the president’s $60 million marquee celebration of America’s 250th birthday.
On opening day, the Ferris wheel stalled. It lurched. It stopped. It started. Then stopped again. Freedom 250’s spokesperson Julia Friedland called it a “power hiccup.”
