The Fair

This is just a small picture of the few people who came for Thursday night- - -The fair gets much larger then this!

Well in my old hometown down in CT there is a fair that happens the last full weekend of September, well have you checked your calendars? It's the last full weekend of September. So as I'm sitting in my dinning room up here in MA, my Bro #1 is standing down at the fair helping the Boy Scouts out with recycling, he enjoys it don't get me wrong, and I enjoy the time I spend down in CT, especially if it's the fair, but for some reason I'm so glad that I'm not at the fair this year. Maybe it's because they added last night, making the three day fair into a four day fair (glad we got out of that the whole town practically shuts down!)! Maybe it's becuase I've been so busy up here I could care less about the fair this year, or maybe it's the fact that for all of my life I've been go to every single day of the fair volunteering at every booth possible, The Boy Scouts, The Church Lime Rickey's, The Republican Commitee, The Cub Scouts, Youth & Family Services (they make really good Apple Crisp!) anyone who needed help I somehow seemed to be there behind the booth helping them. I did get to go around the fair in between shifts, and volunteering makes the fair so much more fun, but yet I'm still not regretting going down, maybe it's also the fact of how expensive it is! I never really thought about it, but just calculating it out to give Bro #1 enough money, it's like $150 for a weekend, and that's just for food! I got $150 for a 10 day trip down to KY! Maybe it's the fact that I just dealt with a flea market and am not quite ready to handle the extent of the fair right now, but other than that I love the fair, and maybe I'll make a trip down for the day when I have some money, a car, and a driver's liscense.

Does your town or community have an annual thing that you have a love-hate relationship with?
