All your favourite carnival food was available like candy floss/cotton candy/fairy floss, donuts, funnel cakes, ice cream, plus a variety of other food items of a more savoury nature. I particularly liked the donuts, freshly made with either vanilla, maple or chocolate glaze, yummy. It was a gorgeous day which in turn meant that I was kind of thirsty, so I went through a fair few bottles of root beer and cream soda (I don't think they had any water on sale or I would have chosen that). By the end of the day I had quite enough sugary stuff.
There were all sorts of fun activities the whole family could enjoy. The mini golf was pretty good, a very interesting course although it could have been improved if the grass had been mowed beforehand.
The sumo-wrestling in inner tubes was a little on the tiring side but fun none the less. I had a slight advantage in the group that I joined, as I was a little bigger than the others, and the only guy
The 12th grade boys had a great time going around arresting people and putting them in jail until they would pay to be released. Quite a little money making business, someone would pay to get you put in jail, plus they could pay more to keep their name a secret. But the prisoner could pay more to find out who the scoundrel was that put them behind bars.
But by far the most popular attraction of the day was the ferris wheel, or ferris square if you you want to be more precise. This was built by one of the men here back in 1995 and is operated each year by the 11th grade boys. They sure must have been tired by the end of the day, they were busy all day pushing people around and around. I decided to cut them a bit of a break and I just watched.
