But now, its a big racket. No more single tickets for rides, you must purchase a ride-a-rama band at $17 a pop, so unless you ride everything, its hardly worth it. There isn't a single game under $5 and if you win, its cheap dollar store shit, no more throwing darts at posters for $1. I spent $50 alone last year for fried dough, lemonade, sausage sandwiches and fries. My youngest is crazy about going but my teenager says he'd rather spend his money elsewhere. Also, the town is loaded with carnies that steal, get drunk, get in fights and generally cause a bunch of trouble. We'll probly go over once this year but holy crow. What are your thoughts on local festivals? Do you go or would you rather someone poke something sharp into you and break it off?
With places like Disney World and other huge stationary amusement parks I didn't really take my kids to carnivals...just a rip.
Spay and neuter your dogs and cats. Ban gas chambers in your local shelters. User made the call. User made a difference!
