County fairs....

[poltr1]

Today I went with The Ex and The Girl to the Montgomery County Fair. We got to see some of the farm animals, eat some carnival food, and ride the rides. We didn't go in the exhibit hall, though.

It's been a long time since I've been to a county fair. I think the last time I went was the early 1970s, and that was the Erie County Fair in Buffalo. My parents took me and my sister there, and we did the usual fair thing: see the farm animals, ride the rides, and eat fair food. The big difference is that the Erie County Fair is the largest county fair in the USA, or so they've said.

I remember the Mile-Long Midway from my youth, and hated the noise the Tip Top ride made. It would release air in a loud "whoosh" as the ride ascended and descended.

Thankfully, The Girl didn't go for the wild rides. I rode a few of the tamer ones with her, like the Dizzy Dragon, the Himalaya, and the Crazy Bus.

(Aside to mseuphrates: There was a sighting of the big strawberry ride, but it wasn't assembled.)
