Free night at the fair





Of course, free night is never completely free. Well, rarely free, anyway. We did pay to let the older three try their hand at dart-throwing. Timothy and Justin could barely get the darts to the board(in fact, Timothy's actually bounced off balloons a few times). Justin got very shy and we had to hold him and help his hand throw the dart. Timothy managed to finally hit his last dart and was very pleased with himself. They are each holding their chosen prizes in the pictures. Leanna got her face painted for free, both sides. No one else wanted it done. The ice-cream was from home, too expensive to buy it at the fair.
I'll have to go back, I want to see the elephants, apparently they have the shows at certain times.

When I worked at The Allentown Hospital (in the '80's), during fair weeks, one or two of us would go over with a list of what everyone wanted for lunch. They would let us in for free, realizing we were hospital employees (the uniforms helped seal that...LOL!), and we would pick up everyone's food orders for lunch. My absolute favorite was a taco from "Take A Taco"....not sure if that even exists any longer!

a new company took over managing the fair this year so I know they have some new vendors and attractions. It's supposed to be more family-friendly.
