What I did on my summer vacation
- or one day of it.

 This is one of my favorite things to still see at the fair. It amazed me when I saw it as a kid and it still amazes me - though for different reasons. When I first saw it, in the early 1960's, I thought it looked very cool and futuristic. All the flashing lights made it look like something from the original Star Trek or an early Bond movie. What amazes me about it now is that in a time when there are computers everywhere, people are still impressed by the flashing lights. Now it looks like something from out of the 50's. Even its' name, the Televac is from that era. Yet young and old still line up for their "scientific" computerized personality analysis. It's hard to read on the sign in the picture but it says "Horoscopes and Lucko Numbers $1.00 extra". I've never heard the word Lucko before. Was it a formerly unknown Marx brother? After thinking about it for longer then I should have, I thought it might be a subliminal merging of the words lucky and lotto - ooooh Lucko! |

 This
is the place to go to when you're looking for that hard to find moose head
accent piece
(or dear head, bull head, buffalo, bear... you name it,
they'll stuff it and mount it). |

 Let's
not forget about the really big farm equipment.After all, it is a fair. |

Bonsai and Bunnies |

 There
are judged contests of every kind. I thought this was a particularly nice
bonsai specimen. |
 Loved
the eyes on this bunny. |
