I Love A Parade
If you’re going to be in the East Metro over the next few days you’ll want to check out the Ramsey County Fair.
It all starts this evening with a parade along White Bear Avenue and culminates with the coronation of the White Bear Avenue Queen. So from today until Sunday there’ll be music, entertainment, arts and crafts, the carnival, fireworks, and a little something for everyone.
Me? I like corn dogs,throwing darts at balloons, the ferris wheel, and people watching.

Am I the only one that still loves an old timey carnival?
After further consideration, I hate parades. The parade is still going on and it’s been a barrage of constant sirens,clanging, and a crowd of people all trying to occupy the same space.
For some reason, I have always been less fearful of rickety old county fair rides than giant, industrial amusement park rides. Something about their quaintness makes me feel safe. Strange?
I generally assume any ride is liable to fall apart at any time. It’s just a matter of how shaken up you get before you get to that point.
