photo essay: rainy day fair

.....................

lovely monday to you, nicies!

hope you had a grand weekend.

it's county fair fall season all around us here these days. a few photos for you from our recent excursion.

oh how i loved the saturated rainyday hues of it all!

my faves: little rikrak's first giant ferris-wheeling.

& the fiddling contest. brilliant.

and you?

have a fall fair fave?
have a cotton-candy-finger-lickin' good day, nicies.

@ the fair!

little rikrak & other fun fair friends flying thru the skies on the giant swing. august 2009

it's that lovely time of year here in ontario... fall fair time.
i just love a fun fair. the lights, the organ-grindery sounds, the midway, the rides,
the award-winning crafts & baking, the fun!

i have such fond memories of visiting fairs from various counties as a young child with my family. leisurely walks thru the crafts building, admiring the craftsmanship of the blue ribbon handicrafts with my mom.

flying thru the skies, joyfully screaming on rikity-rackity rides with my brother.

tasting crazy concoctions on the midway &, let's face it, loving it!

you know.. my parents met at a fair many moons ago.
and then were engaged at a different fair after that. so i guess there's just something wonderfully familiar about the craziness of the fair for me. so festive!

how about you... what's your favourite part of the fair?
