Night At The Carnival

In our local town the fire department and the rescue squad are entirely volunteer. The biggest fund raise they have each year is the Califon Carnival. It's very small and overpriced ....but for a GREAT cause.

The really fun part about it is that people seem to come out of the woodwork to attend the carnival. You run into people you have not seen all year....you get to catch up on the family news, stuff your face with sausage and peppers and funnel cake....what could be better?

The fireworks are a 11:oo pm and you play all the goofy carnival games until then. The only thing I dread is that my husband always convinces me to ride the Ferris wheel. Not a big deal you say.....well if you are terrified of heights it is. I do it anyway for the practice. It is always good to push beyond my comfort zone....even if just for a few minutes. I always feel just a tiny bit triumphant when I stagger off the ride......and as I said it is for a great cause.
