Interesting set, kshapero. The little girl and her expression are priceless.

Cipher, I've dug up some oldies to fit your "all's Fair" theme.
These were both taken at the Kansas State Fair Carnival in 2013, with the Panasonic FZ150, (exif data seems MIA after computer rebuild)

I don't really visit fairs.
A bit too crowded for my liking.
I hope this one qualifies

There was an event with unusual small vessels

Well I guess I've misjudged the reaction to the contest. I was thinking more of images like these:

A little dash of color to a offset a dreary January?

Nice colorful images Cipher. Working on my entry. It is taking longer than expected.
Thanks,

Like Bart I don't go to Fairs and/or entertainment parks and carnival parades, but I once went on a photo shoot to a local carnival wagon graveyard. It's located on an industrial site near the village Sas van Gent and it's been several years ago. Don't even know if it still exists.
