Market Friday all the fun of the fair, well...

A post for Market Friday hosted by @dswigle, if you haven't followed her yet you should she is one of the kindest and most supportive people here on Hive, a comment from her is like a ray of sunshine on your page.
This is the one tag and challenge that I always make a point of joining, and also look through the posts of others that join the challenge and seeing markets from all around the world.

For this weeks post,

For this weeks Market Friday its all about the fun of the fair, well..., not quite, its about the fair before it opened for business, so for some I guess not so much fun but I had fun walking around it for these shots as I was filling in time waiting for the cars starting to arrive for the car show.
Let me start outside the fairground of this trailer showing this fair/carnival is provided by Fiesta Shows

and walking down the road heading to the entrance to the fair as you can see this was early morning around 7AM, I had been out for an early morning beach walk, and instead of heading home waiting for 8AM when the Brother in Law was arriving for the car show at 8 so I decided to take a walk around Buttonwood Park.
NOw some may prefer to walk around the fair and displays when it is open later in the day, but its gets pretty busy and crowded and from experience with fairs like these nothing is cheap in fact everything is over priced, so I preferred checking it out when it was deserted

I carried a water from home which was a lot cheaper than getting one there, well if it had been open LOL

I like the Fiesta Shows trailier. I bet the Fried Dough food truck smelled good even when its closed and not cooking 🙂

I thought the trailer was cool as well, and yes I could get the smell of the fried food even early in the morning when I was there, did make me feel hungry I must admit

Wise move going to see before everyone arrives, pricing at places like this usually are steep.

Preferably early morning stroll to noisy crowds later, photography, a little window shopping !LOLZ

yeah I really detest being in crowds, always have but even more so with the pandemic, even though numbers here are quite low, this new strain is spreading around

Get to the stage of avoiding places where there are too many, human noise pollution has never impressed, stick to the fringes it's safer !LOLZ

Exactly my way of thinking even when f some think it’s anti social

Anti-social is fine by me, select when or who you spend time with, after all time is at a premium!

We do think the same way

Have a great Saturday avoiding people 🙂catching sunrise only.

Thats just what I did, a morning walk at sunrise ;)

have a great weekend

It's been a whil I witness fun filled time like this but I hope very soon.. hope you had a fun time out there

Well I had fun visiting it before it opened I hate crowds so didnt go back when it was running

Ohhh! It would have been a good time if you have you friends around

Water $4

Do people really pay that??? I get why they can charge a lot for the food, those are rare treats. But water 🤣?

This post has been manually curated by the VYB curation project

I guess people must, I always walk with a bottle of water so I wouldnt have to, but I guess if people visit the fair in the heat of the day and get thirsty and they want to stay and spend some more time there, they are willing to pay whatever it costs

True... Sort of like paying double for a snack at the gas station.

Exactly, its crazy really and so many still do it

It's not hard to take it along 😂

!PIZZA !ALIVE

@tattoodjay! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @wrestlingdesires. (9/10)

The tip has been paid for by the We Are Alive Tribe through the earnings on @alive.chat, feel free to swing by our daily chat any time you want.

Cotton Candy is what kind of food?

cotton candy is a fluffy, sweet confection whipped from spun sugar and gathered or wound around a stick or cone-shaped paper core.

really horribly sweet which is why I do not eat it anymore

Cheers for sharing that @tattoodjay. Without being there & having to hustle with crowds it gave me a good insight/ experience of an American fair.
I really enjoyed the focus on the food stalls and some of the interesting food types offered. To be honest I had to google what fried dough is. It sounds good and as far as I know isn’t something that is done here in South Africa……..could be onto something and start up a hustle here :)

Totally agreed about @dswigle and I had the same sentiments about her when I met her here a few days ago.

Thanks again for this blog and I really enjoyed it 🤙

I have only tried fried Dough a couple of times, but it was real nice, I hate crowded places hence my early morning visit ;)

Great and I have the same sentiment about crowded places.

👍😎👍

wow... a wonderful fair. I would like to walk through such a fair.

It was fun to check it out I know many would prefer it open I like it deserted

Even though it is still closed, it is great to have a look around the fair. I can’t remember having such things either.
Great captures. And yes, crazy prices on the food.
Have a wonderful Friday @tattoodjay and enjoy your weekend 👋🏻😊☀️

Thanks so much
It was fun checking it out with no one around

You are welcome @tattoodjay 😎 it would be the time I would go too. Without the crowds.

Great minds think alike, or in this case hate crowds LOL

Yep, exactly… let’s just do that avoid crowds 😁😎

Please vote for pizza.witness!

I can't remember the last time I had cotton candy too but I haven't had caramel apple. That sounds sweet. I can only imagine how crowded it could get there. The rides do look fun.

#MarketFriday brought me here :)

I have had caramel apple yes very sweet indeed
I have driven past it during early evening and so crowded far to crowded for me

Good decision then for going there early before it opened :)

Ohh yes I really do not like being in crowded places :)

Ah, you me and both :D

👍🙂👍
