visited today and had the opportunity to look around. new to the fair this year is a different layout for some of the midway. gone are the pieces behind Dorton and in their place are the buildings and other exhibitors for the Kerr Scott area. rides now occupy that space. Dragstrip, Fighter, Fury, Orbitor, Freakout and few others held down the Coleman Hill area. main midway area basically the same as last year. That enterprise looks good in the daylight also. At the bottom of the old midway area(hill) was anchored by pgam bobs, playworld freakout & vortex, dark ride, scooter, kiddies and the old bluegrass shows himi. had the opportunity to see Corky and most of the pgam crew and talk. season been good when the weather was good. fall been real good. had the opportunity to talk with Frank Zaitshik also. talked about the carnival industry in general. Snowman was there as an outside inspector. There was even a Pal Fontana sighting and I actually saw Pal using a broom to clean up some water around his food. new wrap on the trailer and marquee looks good. seemed like the group games,(water races, derbys) were getting more action today except for ronnie's rat game. weather was great today and crowds seemed to be good for a Monday. Great Day to be at the NCSF.
