Fairs are so GRAND! This weekend our town is having a Rodeo. My nieces daughter is barrell racing in it. She is 14 and I am very excited to go and watch.. I love horses. It is a good thing I don't have a race track near by or I would spend all my time and money at the track probably! I love a FAIR though!
Fun Fairs are fantastically full of surprises, with Ghost Trains and Dodgems, Stalls to win prizes if you can hit targets that go whizzing by. 'Roll up!', the man says, 'Come, give us a try'.
Ferris Wheel on its journey of slow revolution locks riders in harnesses, limits the motion of bucket seats, swinging and straining to fly, 'til folk fervently wish they were not up so high!
Carousel Horses stride out, three abreast, flaring red nostrils; no time for a rest as they prance to the Steam Organ's bellowing cry which spurs them to silently neigh in reply.
' Whoosh!' goes a Switchback. It can't be ignored by neck-craning viewers who loudly applaud its serpentine carriages, saucy and spry - a Silhouette Dragon, alive, in the sky.

It looksa 'Heck' of a good show dose Heckington.. ;O) The big boys trains look neat...
ReplyDeleteA pow wow in the UK? Why? Totem poles are from the Pacific NW through Alaska. I am confused.
ReplyDeleteThe third one makes me feel like I'm about to fall, but it's a great shot. Did you ride / drive the wee trains?
ReplyDeleteBig boys have their toys too, and they must play on occasion!
ReplyDeleteGreat fair pictures! Your header picture is amazing.

Your photos reminded me of my poem:-

Fun Fairs are fantastically full of surprises,
with Ghost Trains and Dodgems,
Stalls to win prizes
if you can hit targets that go whizzing by.
'Roll up!', the man says, 'Come, give us a try'.
Ferris Wheel on its journey of slow revolution
locks riders in harnesses,
limits the motion
of bucket seats, swinging and straining to fly,
'til folk fervently wish they were not up so high!
Carousel Horses stride out, three abreast,
flaring red nostrils;
no time for a rest
as they prance to the Steam Organ's bellowing cry
which spurs them to silently neigh in reply.
' Whoosh!' goes a Switchback. It can't be ignored
by neck-craning viewers
who loudly applaud
its serpentine carriages, saucy and spry -
a Silhouette Dragon, alive, in the sky.
My vote goes to the train!!!
ReplyDeleteMac: We just went to the fair a few weeks back.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of the fair. The pictures remind me of the county fair I always attended when I was growing up.
