The State Fair ended yesterday, this afternoon almost all the rides and booths were packed. The fair disrupts our neighborhood, but it’s worth all the aggravation. For over 50 years I’ve attended the state fair at least once and most years multiple times. My pictures for 9/17 is a carousel minus its steeds ready for hauling to the next town.
