Way Back Wednesday - The Carnival Is In Town!

Every year around this time, the carnival comes to town.  You know the kind... it goes up overnight (or so it seems), is scantly run, and disappears before you even finish eating your candied apple.   Yep, that kind.

Around here, it's almost always a given that you (read: the folks in this area) know when the carnival is in town because inevitably it also rains the whole time the carnival is here.  It seems like the clouds roll in during the week the carnival sets up and they roll out a few days after the carnies...  There might be a few patches of dry over the course of the carnival, but chances are the rides are too wet to run anyway... so it's usually a wash.  No pun intended.

The truth is, every once in a while, while the carnival is in town, we do experience nice weather... so let's look back two years to 2009...

I should mention here that I absolutely love carnivals and such, so we do try to go every year when this gig comes to town.  If not for anything else, we love cotton candy & fried dough!  Oh, and the Ferris Wheel!

Until next time...
