mightypotato Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 So, I was driving home from work the other day and I noticed that the parking lot of the local Ford dealership is having its "not quite annual, but happens sometimes during the spring/summer, but not always" carnival. I figured I might as well check it out instead of ignoring it like I usually do. Plus, there could even be a sad and pathetic kiddie credit to be had! There wasn't really much to see here, the big attractions were a Ring of Fire, a Matterhorn type ride and something called "Tip-Top" that I had never seen. Unfortunately, there was no kiddie credit to be had. Well...that's really about all I can say for the carnival. So, here are some pictures to keep you entertained! Music Fest...a swinging Matterhorn style ride Rock and/or roll! Swinging... I fell in to a burning ring of fire... Went down, down, down and the flames went higher... And it burns, burns burns...the ring of fire. Hey! That's named like my name! I'm really not sure how to describe this ride... It's not a carnival without some gratuitous copyright infringement! Speaking of copyright infringement... Super fun happy slide! Obligatory bumper cars Bumpin' and grindin' Swingers "Towering" above the "midway" was the ferris wheel More ferris wheel action I actually thought this was a clever name for a scrambler More scrambler action Kanye glasses have never been stylish Prizes! Every time! Wow! Throw a dart at a construction paper cut out...super ghetto. Obligatory random and tasteless hats/belt buckle/sunglasses stall Full of tooth melting goodness Prices! The best part was that they accept Canadian Tire money. Love it. SUPERFUN!
1pizza14 Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 I always see these tiny ghetto fairs in parking lots here in Toronto. I find it insanely funny that they except Canadian Tire money
texcoaster Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Carmel Apples and Carmel Corn? Was this a religious themed carnival, or can they just not spell "Caramel"?
beatle11 Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Ha Ha, as soon as it said Canadian Tire money I had to check where you were from. And now I have Johnny Cash stuck in my head. Nice TR.
Carnage Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Hah, I saw that carnival Easter weekend while getting breakfast at the McDonalds. I thought it was pretty cold for a carnival.
Brandy524 Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 I love ghetto carnivals! I've never seen a "throw darts at construction paper" game before. Nice pictures!
jynx242 Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Yayyy for ghetto parkinglot (field down here in the south) carnivals. Love the "tooth meltingly" comment! So True!
chrisdanger Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Canadian Tire Dollars are an acceptable alternate currency in most areas of canada(1:1 currency exchange w/the CDN), I know people who've bought Timbits and coffee w/ them...
