I was driving down the road in southern Illinois the other day and saw this old fashioned carnival setting up. It reminded me of the hometown carnival of my youth in the 1960’s and early 1970’s with its mechanical rides, games and concessions stands. So I came back on Saturday night, ate at the fish fry, spoke with a lot of people, took some photos and had a corn dog before I left.
