County Fair
by Don Scott
Would you like to eat a deep-fried candy bar? Or a deep-fried bacon-wrapped pickle? How about a turkey leg (also deep-fried)? You can enjoy all of these and more at the Pima County Fair. This is an annual event held near Tucson during the first week of April. The fair has been wisely canceled this year due to the Covid 19 pandemic.
County fairs are a springtime tradition in many states in America. They are multi-faceted events.
They can be a very exciting and fun-filled. There are carnival rides, farm animal exhibits, musical entertainment, and baked good contests. The county fair is a place where you can eat guilty-pleasure foods and ride nausea inducing rides that spin you round and round and turn you upside down.
Kids and adults enjoy playing games of chance that are extremely difficult to win. For example: throughout the fairgrounds you will find a basketball shoot. Your task is to shoot a basketball through a hoop that is about 4 meters away. From the front, the hoop looks normal. However, if you view the hoop from the side you will see that it is narrow oval instead of being a circle.
Thousands of people love coming to the fair each year. It is a great place for street photography.
