Just a little bit of the
whole:
There is never a silent moment at the fair. From the roaring of the cars and trucks at
the demolition derby to the moo’s, bleats, and cherps of the animals in the
barns. Behind it all is the constant hum
of the fair goers as they talk punctuated by screams of excitement as they
jump, tumble, or fall on some exciting ride.
Every space has its own sound. Each midway ride has its own music, and each
barker has his own call out to the customer. In the commercial tents, every sound is
magnified by the size of the space. Here
the hum of the machines becomes a roar.
The barkers call seems deeper sometimes almost managing to vanish into
the hum of the crowds. The clangs,
bangs, and throbs of this mini city are all part of the excitement.
By nightfall, the live bands in several corners of the fair
seem to take over the air. The throbbing
beat sent us homeward with a smile. We
do love the sounds of the fair.
Life is Really in the
Footnotes:
Glad prep went well. Too bad the Cadell books are not available for Kindle. No room at my house for paper books, must keep library on Kindle.
