“You loved Ferris wheels more than roller coasters because life
shouldn’t be lived at full speed, but in anticipation and
appreciation.”

Can
you smell the popcorn, corn dogs, sausage dogs, and french fries?
Then I guess you have arrived at the Fair. Step right up and have
some fun. A group of our friends were going to the Fair tonight in
Augusta, Georgia and looking for a fun night out and that sounded
like a great way to spend the evening. Right after work today, we
met up with a couple friends and headed to fair to meet up with our
group. Fairs bring back the kid in you even if you don’t do the
rides. It is the excitement of the children, the lights, the food,
the music, and the entertainment.
Before
we chose what we wanted to eat, we walked around the entire fair.
There was so much food to choose from. This fair has more great
food than I’ve ever seen before in a fair. I was like a kid in a
candy shop. There was a popcorn stand as soon as you got in the
gates and the heavenly smell of popcorn filled the air. Then it
just got better and better at every step. Then the smell of french
fries and sausage dogs came wafting through. Yum. The aroma was
terrific. This is the ultimate culinary delight within the fairs
fenced area. We met up with the rest of our friends at the fried
Oreo cookie, fried Snickers bar, fried bubble gum, and funnel cake
stand. I will not get into who had what but it all was delightful.
Actually I promised I wouldn’t tell. You could tell by the sighs
and the “Oh Mys” that everything was wonderful. We ordered a
nice grilled sausage sandwich and fries. They were both wonderful.
Of course there was even more food you could get like hot dogs,
turkey legs, chicken, ice cream, caramel and candied apples, and
water ice. Any fair food you could imagine was there. This was a
den of temptations. There is nothing like fair food.
The
rides were incredible for children from the kid roller coasters and
dinosaur rides to small boat rides. There were slides, more rides,
and shows for the children. The kids were all squealing with
delight with huge smiles on their faces. They also had a Jurassic
Park show for the kids and a horse show. They had agriculture
inside the building so the kids could see a cow up close and pet them
if they want.
The
adult rides were amazing as well. They had the Himalayan ride,
pirate ship ride, a hang glider ride, and the Ferris wheel that was
absolutely gorgeous. There were lots more rides and our group enjoyed
watching everyone having a great time on the rides and screaming with
delight. As it got dark, the fair just got more and more beautiful
when all the lights from all the rides were on. What an amazing
fair and each night they have different specials. Tonight was a
good deal - $55 a car load for all the rides you want and admission
to the park. Keep a look out for good specials this week.
We
had a blast with our friends. Thank God for great friends. Here
we are just before we left. A group picture of a bunch of older kids
enjoying a night at the fair. It was a blast and recommend this fun
for people of all ages. This fair goes till the 21st of
October so if you want to go, get a move on. It won’t be here for
long. You can buy tickets ahead of time to make it a little
cheaper. There are many places to buy them including South State
Bank, Queensboro Bank, Barneys, Regions, Snovus, and Sprint Foods.
Good
night to all and till we meet again. Till the next fair…..
