FAIR

I know I promised pix of classic cars this week, but the fair happens to be in town. County and regional fairs are always nostalgic for me. I remember the ferris wheel and exciting rides like the Hammer or Tilt-a-Whirl as well as the booths testing throwing skills or shooting skills or whatever. It was at a fair I lost all my ride money in an inexplicable urge to pitch a ring over a dish. That's when I learned I was no gambler!

Anyway, my guy went to the fairgrounds with his group of photographers and ended up with some great shots.

This is the entrance:

This is the midway. A little blurred and he didn't want me to use it but I wanted to show the crowd:

This photo, taken at dusk, is one of the two ferris wheels:

This is the ferris wheel after dark:

This is one of those rides where people sit in swings and then the thing starts going around until everyone is swung out with their feet hanging out in space:

 And this is the second ferris wheel:

Ah, so much fun to recall being a youngster and eating hot dogs, funnel cakes, and cotton candy! Pitching darts at balloons and winning trinkets! Rushing from ride to ride! Getting sick behind the merry-go-round...

Well, maybe not the last.
