Small town living don't you just love it! It seems like every little town has a carnival or county fair. This carnival rolled into Charlevoix during July. I used to love carnivals when I was a kid but now I can not do those rides, I hate the feeling of my stomach dropping down to my toes. Back then the Tilt-A-Whirl was my favorite ride. Ahhh to be young again... the kids in town really seemed to love all the scary rides. I thought this was a good reminder of the fun I hope you had this summer.
I think Dumbo here was the model for their food sign, he just changed hats.
Can't you just hear them screaming, I know I would be!
This must have been some guy's fantasy girl, oh my!
Andrea should be back posting with me next week.

Love your pictures -- I don't do rides either. Inner ear problems make that a disaster! However the lights and smells are always fun.
Great photos! I now have a HUGE craving for corn dogs, cotton candy, mini donuts.... :-)
I used to LOVE roller coaters, would ride them over and over. NO MORE!!! Great pics. We ahve had a totally BORING summer:(
I don't think we EVER tire of pretty pictures, Laura! You gave us just enough of the action that it was ALMOST like being there in person. ;)
Have a wonderful holiday weekend!

Fun, wish I could've gone!
I like all the pictures. I can't get on the rides anymore either. I dislike that so much. I didn't do much this summer. Just the usual: work on the house and hunt for thrifty finds. It went by too fast that is for sure.
What a great post! Pictures are incredible. Your little carnival looks nostalgic & fun, the ones around here are seedy & a bit dangerous looking. Oh but I do remember the excitement of the carnival coming to town. My husband just took the kids to Six Flags, I passed. A day of rides in triple digit heat sounded like torture not fun. Last time I rode a roller coaster it took me a week to recover!

That looks like a lot of fun. I live in Illinois. My family and I went to Great America for a day. I hadn't been on a ride in many years. I felt like a kid again. Thanks for the fun post.
Wonderful photos! I feel like I went to the carnival too!
Your pictures are beautiful. They remind me of our visit to the local fair this year, I was amazed at the vibrant colors. Thanks for stopping by. I do wish I could keep the cabinet green, but it is peeling fabric and I must fix it.
