Despite some changes, for better or for worse, the fair did what it was meant to do and that was entertain the people of the Magic Valley, but was it a true success?

Whether it's clocking that parent completely losing control over a kid, watching the guy leave the beer garden after five hours of pounding brews, that carnival worker with the great mustache spinning his game spiel, or the women in tight jeans, there's something for all to see when the carnival arrives in town.
Lord knows I've designed some pretty unsafe project blueprints in the name of backyard entertainment over the years. A homemade waterslide constructed in my teens that almost resulted in a friend fracturing his skull comes to mind.
