What I Learned at the Fair James Butler

Everyone, (OK, not everyone, but most people... OK, most people except the introverts) enjoy a day at the County Fair. The amusements, the food, the entertainment, the local bands, even the mutant animals in the back are a yearly tradition for families. It's a whole heaping pile of humanity. We have the Carnys travelling town to town living in tents and converted tractor trailers, some unhealthy food selections, vendors selling everything from handmade bird houses to Sham Wows to chiropractic services and everything in between, and then we add a few thousand fair-goers each night. An in-around-and-behind the scenes peek at years of working and observing a County Fair. A humorous celebration of the odd, weird, bizarre, and even a little bit of everyday strangeness that comes to the Fair each year. You'll never look at a Fair the same way again.
