A day at the fair! by orangecrush

A day at the fair!

On the Fourth of July we went to the county fair. I love the fair! Where else could you find baby goats, fried butter sticks, and spinny rides that will empty out your system with just three tickets!
This is a shot while I was sitting waiting for my arteries to unclog, my head to stop spinning, and stomach to stop flip flopping!
wow great shot, love the sky!

Great shot! looks terrifying to someone as scared of heights as me. The fair is just grand though. I'm with you all the way.
