I didn't spend a very long time wandering around the day-after-the-fair fairgrounds, but here's what I did see while I was there.
One of the carnival rides packed up and only looking a bit like the Hall of Justice.
Couple more rides packed up and, on the left, tractors put on a trailer bed for some reason.
The Paper Eater, a caged lion here to be your trash bin.
Meanwhile, off in the distance inside the exhibition hall, people gather their exhibits. I like having the people out of focus but it really needs the frame of the building to be in focus to work well.
And here's a lion drinking fountain that's got a face full of flowers!
Of course they leave the port-a-potties up until the last minute.
ToonTown is smaller than the movie makes it look!
The ring carved out by the captive pony ride over the course of a week.
On the table there? That is the tallest broccoli I have ever seen.
Someone going in to fuss with a storefront exhibit.
That little creek within the building, turned off but not yet fully drained.
There it is. The album cover for this set of pictures, with the singer/songwriter sitting out past the spotlight. That's an Art.
Trivia: The word ``shrewd'' first appears in English in the 1300s with pejorative meanings of ``an evildoer, a villain''; by the 1500s it was softened to mean more ``mischievous'' or ``naughty'', and after the 1600s picked up positive connotations of ``cunning, crafty, astute''.
