Our town fair is the oldest in the US, 250 year anniversary this year.
I use to ho every year as a kid & teenager, but as I got older, I phased out if it.
I remember seeing the lobster boy, & other freaky people on display at the fair in the 1980's.....no way would they allow that stuff now.
My favorite was playing the rigged games, yes rigged, because our newspapers had a huge story for 2 years on how some games were rigged & impossible to win at......like the milk cans that you had to throw a softball into the hole, but it was impossible, because the ball could never fit into it.
Always won gold fish tho, that was fun, & my brother always won these huge stuffed animals & gave them to my mom.
As a child, ages 10 to 15 I enjoyed the fair very much going with my parents, but as you get older, you rather hang out with friends, & the fair has a different feel to you as you age.
Never liked the rides tho........& the best was the food as well.
We also have some pretty good concerts every year.......

The Lights, the "old tymie" atmosphere. The smell of the food that is way overpriced. The Eye Candy.
The worst things are parking, the crowdedness & time it takes to get on rides, being killed when the Tilt-O-Wheel tips over or your cart takes flight from the top of the 'coaster launching you into the dark night from 144 feet in the air, the obnoxious animals in the petting zoo, having to buy every single thing available for the group of kids you're with cuz if you don't you're an asshole and the smell of the food that is way overpriced.
