The Carnival Comes to Town

We all remember the excitement of seeing the trucks arrive at the fairgrounds. Magically the carnival appeared the very next day.  It was the local highlight of the summer, a glimpse into another world and everyone wanted to go.  I loved going with my family when I was small but it was even more fun later to be able to go with my friends.  Even today when I see them setting up in a parking lot I am immediately transported back to my childhood.
