It is all true and a little sad. I have almost 40 years on you and yes true and occasionally sad but obviously not always. My wife Katie and I have decided that our life is an adventure. That means happy times, sad times, scary times and amazingly fun times as occurs in a true adventure. The newest part is occurring in 3 weeks when our first puppy arrives and another chapter opens. Happy adventures all!🙏

County fairs conjure up a constant flow of childhood memories that you have captured with an insightful mix of the then and now. Thanks for the ride.

Such nostalgia reading this. Really loved the comparison of attending the fair at different stages of life and the different feelings each one brings up.

I had not thought about attending the fair as a teenager as being on display, but what an accurate description it is! Thank you for the fond memories.
