Fun and Prizes

Tiff and I recently went to the County Fair. It was surprisingly fun and gave me a lot to say, so I broke it up and this is the second part of the story. Here’s the first part of the story, or just scroll down to Good Clean Fun.

The main attraction at the fair was probably the carnival. Tiff’s sister got Wii Carnival recently for the Wii, which we had played a little bit of, and by golly if every single game that the mighty Wii people could think of weren’t at this carnival, and then some! It was great fun. We didn’t play any of them though. We chose instead to shell out the big bucks for the chance to win bigger bucks ...At the coin pusher. Here’s how we did…

We actually played another 5 bucks after that too. It was worth every penny.
We went on wandering through the carnival until it started to rain, when we just happened to be next to the Bingo tent. Bingo doesn’t get enough credit. It is some fun stuff. Fifty cents for three boards of bingo and if you tied you got five free games. If you won you got to choose any of several fine prizes, from an electric knife to a doll of Bill Clinton playing the saxophone. It was awesome.

Of course I didn’t win at all, but Tiff won or tied almost every time. In fact, I think for the two of us we only paid maybe three dollars and played throughout the rainfall and walked away with a couple of prizes. Yep, that’s a lumberjack gnome coaster set! And what’s that there, yep, that’s an As-Seen-On-French-TV three part frying pan!

Good clean fun, man… nothing beats good clean fun.
