The Fair Is In Town
The fair is in town this week. I have noticed that two things are missing from our fair this year, the Space Needle and the Pirate Ship.
I can’t really remember the Space Needle, but I do know that I have always forbidden my son to ride the Pirate Ship. Although there is a bar going across, I nearly fell out of one 17 years ago. So this is one thing, that I am glad to see gone. Now my son and I won’t have to argue over him riding it.
I am also glad to see that many of the rides now have seat belts. This is a big accomplishment and will make parents feel better. I know that most of the rides are safe, and are tested time and time again for safety, but seat belts still help me give a little extra sigh of relief.
Now, I will just be glad when the fair is gone. In my opinion, they over charge for everything, and when the leave, nearly every family in town is broke.
