As I am typing this there is a carnival going on behind my house. I can see the ride called Gravity Drop or something from my window. Yeah I hear the people scream everytime the thing drops. They have the music pumping. The music is all pop music that is hip right now.
I am a little disappointed and also showing my age but back in the day when the carnival came to town the music was Def Leppard or Whitesnake and the prizes you would win would be mirrors with Poison or Skid Row on them or roach clips. Yes, they gave these out as prizes and I thought they were to clip on your jeans. Hey, I was young.
Now the prizes are inflatable baseball bats with American flag print. Not kidding. I haven't checked out the whole thing yet it really got started today but the rides where a preview last night.
Tonight we are going to take Big Cubby over to ride the kiddie rides he is so excited.
The town is having a Heritage Festival where there are booths, rides, fireworks(also will be seen from the back of my house), food, music,(John I Wear My Sunglasses at Night Waite) and much more. I guess it is a big deal here and it runs through Sunday.
Funnel Cakes here I come!
