All summer I look in antipication to the Tunbridge Fair, also known as the World's Fair. It is a small scale fair, lasting only 3 days, attracting many of dozens of fair goers on the hunt for an elephant ear, or sausage sandwich with a sweet array of peppers. The carnies line up in their game booths, taunting the passer byers to try their hand at darting a balloon, or shooting an air rifle at the floating rabbit. The sound of park rides in the background mesh with the low mewing of cows, and sheep.
We checked out the different variety of cows, petted some long haired rabbits. Baaahed back at some sheep, watched a man spin some wool. Oinked at the pigs, all of which brought new meaning to the pop up farms books that lie on the bookshelf at home. It was a full, satisfying day of new scents, sights and different sounds which only come around once a year. Next year hopefully I will be looking forward toward the fair in Knox County. Stay tuned for October as we await a visit from grandma, a pumpkin patch wagon ride, and the Great pumpkin!
