The Many Delights Of A Country Fair
Growing up in a small town leaves you with special memories, especially of summertime with long days and no school for a few happy months. The highlight of summer was always the annual country fair, where the whole town turned out. The fair always made a fun day even more so, and made happy memories as well.
Making a bee line for the cotton candy stand was the first thing to do after arriving at the fairgrounds. It cost so little, for all the fun you got, first watching as the cotton candy machine spun out the fluffy pink stuff. Then, pulling off mouthfuls of sugary stickiness was a sure sign that fair fun had started.
The Ferris wheel was the next stop, and once the safety bar was in place you held on tightly with cotton candy-sticky hands. Round and round you went, and if you were lucky it would stop for more passengers while your car was at the top. The view from up there was as exhilarating as the slightly rocking car was scary.
Even more fun than the Ferris wheel were the game booths on the fairway, where you could try to knock over bowling pins with soft balls, or toss metal rings the size of mens wedding bands onto revolving wooden posts. Neither these nor any of the other games was as easy as it looked. But the prizes were wonderful, so of course you had to try.
Whether through skill or luck, or both, you actually won and were invited by the barker to choose your prize. But there were too many choices, and it was so hard to decide among a fuzzy blue stuffed elephant, a flashy fake crystal necklace, and other fun and crazy things. In the end you had to just close your eyes and point, and take whatever your finger landed on.
After all that effort some more energy was required, and it was difficult to decide between the fresh soft pretzels and the juicy hot dogs in the next food stand. Of course, buttered hot popcorn was always delightful. Too bad that there was not enough time to eat everything.
Farther down the fairway, near where the rodeo would soon take place, a garish clown was juggling plates and otherwise entertaining onlookers. You briefly noticed that the scuffed brown boots he was wearing looked exactly like your seventh grade teacher's. It seemed odd, but you forgot it a moment later as you laughed at the clown and thought what a great job he had, working at fairs all year long.
At the end of the hot summer day, you went home with silly prizes, a slight stomach ache and another fair's worth of happy memories. It had been a full day of sun and fun, and you could hardly keep awake till you were tucked into bed. Then you fell asleep, wondering just how your seventh grade teacher did spend his summer.
