Dom and I had a fun afternoon. We went to the Cumming Fair which is held every year in our town. We've lived in Cumming for over 7 years and this is the first time we attended.
I didn't realize the fair was as large as it is. The midway is on two different levels. There are plenty of rides and games of chance. All types of food - pizza, corn dogs, cotton candy, funnel cakes and more. There was a petting zoo that had a llama, a zebra, baby kangaroos, and a camel along with ponies, goats and sheep. There are log cabins depicting life in earlier times, showing churches, a one-room school, a doctor's office, a dentist's office, and a post office. Trained dogs and bears and even a big rat and a big snake - you can be sure I didn't go anywhere near that one!
We're not into the different rides, but we did take the aerial cars that rode from one side of the fairgrounds to the other. I didn't realize that Dom would be upset riding on it - I know he doesn't like heights, but this wasn't really that high. I think it was the fact that it was an open seat, like a ski lift chair. We only rode one way - he was turning all shades of green by the time we got to the end.
I was a little surprised at the cost of the rides and the food. I didn't expect them to be so expensive. Even the children's rides were a lot - $3 for a short ride per child. There were a lot of families with a bunch of little ones, going on all the rides and eating everything in sight. I can't imagine how much money they must have spent.
It was fun, but not something I'd want to do again. But now, I'm no longer the only person in Cumming who hasn't been to the Fair.

I'm glad you and Dom can check that off your list! Atleast it was a fun afternoon!
It was amazing to me how many fairs, and festivals were happening the first weekend in Oct. in and around Atlanta. I think there must have been one every few miles or so.
Hope you had a funnel cake...they're the best!
