Far and away, the best carnival of the summer. We prefer to go opening night for the fireworks
but our friends had a conflict so we agreed to go tonight. Funny, Thursday's weather seemed unstable but nothing happened, and Jeff said he say fireworks from their direction on his way home from work.
Around 3:30 dark clouds rolled in here but there was only a 30% chance of rain and the thunderstorm warning did not include our county. We arrived at the fair around 6. I got their wristbands for the inflatables located near the front of the fairgrounds and kept an eye out for our friends and Jeff coming from work.
Within 45 minutes, dark clouds came our way again. The rides shut down and we were directed to the food tent. Jeff called us that he was prevented from entering the parking area until the storm blew over. Within fifteen minutes, all was clear again. We were entertained by a roving magician as we waited for the inflatables to blow up.
Another 45 minutes and more dark clouds, this time for keeps. They shut down the fair at 8pm.
We got some delicious shish kebabs from a barbecue vendor and, of course, I got my fried ravioli. In time, the vendors were ordered not to make any more sales so that we patrons would go home.
All told, we left an hour earlier than usual because of the weather. We'll try to do our Saturday chores in time so that we might return to the fair tomorrow and get our full kicks. After all, the kids still have birthday money to spend!
