2012 Piedmont Interstate Fair

Duncan YoYo??

If there is a more profitable game at the fair, I've yet to see it.

Fat Albert does his thing.

Elvis found!

Multi-culturalism, Carney style.

Oregon Ducks

South Carolina Gamecocks

World's biggest ice cream cone?

Don't get within spitting distance.

Who's that guy in the next stall?

Where's Vanna White?

"The Underside of Life" Was that a Moody Blues' song?

Almost applied for this.

Only if I get to pilot.

Pumpkin patch

"I love the smell of cotton candy in the evening."

The Phantom of the Fair.

Would you believe I saw my old midget league baseball coach from 48 years ago selling hot dogs at the Police Club booth? How's it going Coach Bain?

I only wrestle for money.

Mardi Gras isn't just for New Orleans.

I think Fat Albert decided to play a joke on the cat with a strategic dousing of certain letters.

Nothing biting.

Water balloon game. My have.

The Romans used to trade coins with the Chinese for silk, which has nothing to do with the Fair, but is a cool bit of trivia.

Bonnie says goodbye to her first Fair.

Ever wonder why the Carney folk succeed at throwing wiffle-balls in the basket or coins on the plate when your's bounces out/off? Well, it is simple physics. They make you stand "behind the line" to make the toss. They always perform such demonstrations a few feet closer. The extra force you have to impart to the ball or coin makes all the difference.
