Photo TR: The Great Frederick Fair 2017

I've been inactive here for a few years now, but I decided to make my "triumphant comeback" with a Photo TR. The Great Frederick Fair is the main (though not only) agricultural fair in the immediate area of my city, Frederick, MD. While it isn't even close to the largest or best known fair in the United States, it's arguably one of the better-rated ones. These are just some random scenes from the fair, shot over two consecutive Saturdays (Sept 16th, second day of the fair, and the 23rd, the final day). My son Connor figures prominently in a number of photos.

Part 2, END: The Great Frederick Fair

Nice ride lineup. I was going to say there's nothing I really envy, but damn I want to ride that Huss Flipper.

 

Three-seater StarFlyer?!

Nice TR! Looks like a decent ride lineup. I wish our local fair was half as good as this one!!

 

Great photos too!

Yeah, it's not a half bad midway, and the fair overall is a really nice one. It surrounds a half-mile horse track. The midway runs the length of the front stretch behind the grandstand and curves around turn 4, outside turn 3 is the animal area/barns, along the outside of the back stretch is mainly for farm equipment dealers with food and other vendors scattered throughout, and outside turns 1 and 2 are the main food area and exhibit pavilions.
