Pima County Fair (Tucson, AZ)

[JimmyBo]

The woman and I decided to check out the Pima County Fair this past weekend. I have never been to this fair since I grew up near the Del Mar Fair for so many years. Now, since Arizona doesn't have any amusement parks (and NO, CnC does not count as a park!) I figured this would the best thing to come my way for awhile.

Hot day, Carnies are awesome, Pigs are cute, Cows smell, I rule, here we go...

And I'll close with the Desert Sunset...Now you all jealous you don't live here?

...we got this awesome souvenir! I'm a skydiver and Cassie's a pilot. Thanks to the guy who made this, he was a lot of fun

On the drive back home we saw it was starting to rain on the mountains near by. Good thing we left early but not before...

Yeah, you go pretty high up there...but it was pretty expensive and no way I was going to be able to get Cassie on that thing

Did I mention they had an ejection seat here too?

Sad to say we aren't the best at Carnie Games, but this was the cheapest and most fun

You want to talk about airtime on Balder? Go on this slide...my butt still hurts!

Dragon Wagon. CREDIT for those sad and pathetic people

Swings of death and doom and pray to god that the chains are tight!

The Alpaca's should have gotten their hair done wherever this horse did...damn!

Check out that hair on that horse! Holy Crap!

My horse wasn't as cool as Cassie's

Time for some Grand Carousel Action

Spin N Puke Ride...ummm...lost count but whatever. Still fun and puking

Yep, that's the view of the desert...You all jealous you don't live here?

Spin N Puke Ride #3 (and a really fun one at that)

She doesn't look too scared...of course this was before the ride started making beautiful sounds of cracking and screeching

Time for Cassie's first Carnie Ride...and why not take her on the safest one of them all

90 degree turn at those speeds = Cracked Rib

Layout shot of the twisted (and hopefully bolted together) mayhem

Yay for High Miler! Or Turn On A Dime Roller Coaster

Too bad this gy wasn't open today...I love these things at fairs because the ride ops don't put your restraint down all the way. Extra Excitement!

These freefalls always scare me but they sure do produce enormous amounts of airtime

Mega Drop, so Mega it wouldn't fit in one picture.

Spin N Puke Ride #2 (Note, never ride these things. If you want to know why...don't ask!)

Spin N Puke Ride #1

Look at the theming, it's a freakin space shuttle!

Onto the rides, CREDIT!

Tigers! WTF!! The Del Mar Fair never had Tigers. I bet these poor animals were really hot

Look at all that beer...Mmmmmmm

These animals are huge! I wonder if they drink the beer instead of water?

Dalmation was like "What up fool, it's way too freakin hot outside!"

No beer today but my roommate Dan was there chillin behind the bars

Ahh yes, the beasts among the horses and the beers of beers

These Alpacas had an attack from the worst hairdresser ever. Seriously...was it poodle Alpaca day or something?

My Little Pony! He was so cute

Hey Fatty, what's up? You smell!

Me being my normal self

Cassie doing her best "Moooo" impression

This cow was sold to Arby's for FOOD!!!! SWEET!

Of course we had to check out the animals first, Billy Goat!

It's pretty much the same fair that goes everywhere with the same rides

Yep, Pima County Fair in all its hotness
