pete4winds Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 Got back about an hour ago ago from Fall River Celebrates America here in, where else? Fall River. Pretty good time. It's the fourth since we moved here (we moved in on the FRCA weekend in 2003 - it was absolute chaos), but our first time attending. It's a bit more than just a carnival, more like a multi-cultural festival, but it certainly has plenty of carnival elements, as you'll see. We spent the first half of our visit doing the carnie thing and snapping photos, and since the main entrance to the festival is only three blocks from the house, we walked back and got camp chairs for the Taylor Dayne concert. I was never a big fan of hers, being the Iron maiden/Testament/Anthrax guy, but oddly enough I did remember enough of her music to enjoy the show. We ended up taking off about halfway through the show since there was a surprisingly chilly breeze coming off the river, but the proximity of the stage to our house allowed us to hear the rest of the show from the living room. The photos are from the first part of the night. Since I take photos with my camcorder, and it doesn't have a flash, there are no photos of the Taylor Dayne show, but enjoy what's here! Again, more of the usual. The usual carnival stuff. More kiddy rides. ...and a cheesy kid-sized Super Slide. Yup, they have a Zipper. Another of the bungee trampoline, in front of the Carousel. This kid was pretty good. Bungee trampoline. Artsy backlit ferris wheel photo.
pete4winds Posted August 12, 2006 Author Posted August 12, 2006 Part deux: A self-portrait...errrmmm, rather, the requisite food-related photo. Black & White, a blues trio playing on the main stage earlier in the evening. Total footchopper action on the swings by the side of the warehouse. I so wanted this bad boy to go over. Yeah, I know it's not really possible, but they had it crankin'... Dude, it's TOTALLY a credit, if only to legitimize this PTR. OOOOHHH!!! A CREDIT!!! The little girl in front says so, anyway.

ECZenith Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 Yeah, it's at Battleship Cove, I've driven over it twice, it's set up right under the braga brige.
