Remember the fairground rides back in the day ....? I still love the fair to this day not as much as back then , now rides are very much shorter and way more expensive.....but the fairground back when we were kids was full of atmosphere and the smells of Toffee apples, and candy floss...yummmmy!!
Great pics Holly! There's something awesome about being a kid and going to the fair that you lose as you grow older. Maybe it's just the innocence of being a child? I have very fond memories of the carnival that used to roll into town for a few weeks every summer. It was much bigger than the smaller "pop up carnivals" you see these days. I thought it was so cool that it had a double Ferris Wheel. I also remember the "Freak Tent" with the Bearded Lady, Snake Man and Lobster Boy.
There's a tragic story about Lobster Boy aka Grady Stiles Jr, involving alcoholism and murder. Stiles murdered his daughter's fiance on the eve of their wedding and he was eventually killed by a side show performer/hitman who was hired by Stiles wife and stepson.
