This weekend we went to the Brockton Fair. It was much larger than I had expected and we had a good time. I think we spent more time at the agricultural part than any other single area of the fair.

There really wasn’t any sort of side show there, unfortunately. There were only a few randomly scattered oddities. I didn’t pay up to see any of them, since most of them were very poorly presented. One of them did catch my eye though, but it tucked strangely out of the way and looked like it wasn’t even open. I’m sure it would have been “totally awesome”.

Corinne noticed the name of this fun house:

For all those Geek Love fans, you should be amused. I don’t know why they went with a wild west theme for the decor, though. I did some quick Googleing and found that this is a mass-produced carnival attraction though. Maybe the name “Crystal Lil” has some other significance that I’m not aware of. Either way, it would have been a lot cooler if there were a Geek Love-themed mural on the side of the fun house instead.

Once again, I was left with just my camera phone to take pictures. I didn’t think there was going to be much there, so I didn’t bother taking a real camera. I should just start bringing one of my cameras with me everywhere I go.

Either way, fun was had by all and we’ll probably end up going to any other random fairs or carnivals we happen across this summer.
