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.

hokey dinah. 

i was witness to one of the craziest things i've EVER seen this weekend.

saturday, we *fall fair-ed* it at a nearby county fair with friends and partook of the wild ritual known as, that's right, the demolition derby!

crashup, smashup, motor-roarin' fun at it's best. 

now i've seen derby's on movies and tv (think happy days reruns & herby the love bug films) but to see this crazy CRAZY event live? good heavens!

it was 2 solid hours of holding-my-breath, eeks-n-shreiks,  full-bellied-laughs fun! safe to say our whole party loved it!

ah, gosh darn crazy things.

maybe i'll quit my day job to become a demolition derby queen!
oh-so-exhilariting, but sadly, maybe not-so-safe.

who's with me?

ever been?

what's the craziest *sorta-sporting* event you've seen?

{and i thought wwf entertainment wrestling was crazy in the 80s!}

@ 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?
