the town i live in has been a town for 42 years now. so every september, on the last weekend of the month they have a town fair or carnival. the main street is closed off from friday to sunday, rides are set up on the street, a stages in the center, and vendors come and sale their wares. it's a bit like friday market only much bigger and with less fruits and veggies. there is pottery for sale, random toys and gifts, clothes, baskets, hot dogs, cotton candy (or candy floss as my friend calls it), kozonac (this really great sweet bread rolled in nuts or coconut), drinks, gyros, cartof pie (french fries), etc... and then there is the giant airbed type slides, face painting, bumper cars and some go cart racing...which laszlo loved watching! so we had some pocket money and some extra jobs for our kids to make a bit of money and then many of us went out and enjoyed the day in town! we went in the morning when it was quieter and full of less people and more time and room for our kids to ride the rides. but we also went out a bit in the evening to see all the lights on the rides and the folk dance stage performers...and one audience performer too!
oh yes, and there was a large pig roasting on a spit and fireworks to finish the weekend celebration!
so these are some of the photos that documented our day.
hope you enjoy!
