New England Fairs
September 24th, 2007 by Critty
 There’s something about New England in the fall that is hard to explain to someone who has yet to experience it. The weather slowly cools. Different smells come into the air. The atmosphere completely changes. Although it marks the ending of the summer, It always stirs up new curiosities in me. One thing i love about the fall is all of the local fairs.Â
Most of the towns around me are all woods. At least a few times each fall one of them has a fair. Farmers come to showcase their livestock and produce. Tractor pulls apparently are a real big thing. Then you got the travelling carnies!!
I’m a sucker for rides. I know fairs happen all over America. I know that it is technically fall in every state. But fuck. Each year i am reminded as to why i still live here. It’s just fuckin special.

I freakin love rides!!!!! I used to love the fair too but then there was a shooting the first year I missed it and I haven’t been back since other than for a quick walk through with friends then we left because it sucked in the aftermath. I hope for the kids these days it is much funner but I have my doubts. I always like the spaceship thing that spins really fast and lifts you up the walls inside, the haunted house ride, the swings, and the tilt-a-whirl.
You need to come out here to visit someday and we need to go to Great America if you like rides you’ll love it there! Yay for rides!

fairs are the bomb, though I haven’t been in quite a while either. I second the tilt-a-whirl and the “gravitron.” (spinny thing) I really want to get back to Great America too. Frightfest is right around the corner, and that’s always a good time.
yes critty, fall is the best season.

GRAVITRON!! that’s what it was, I should have freakin known. I used to know the names of all of the common rides. I love me that gravitron though.
