Ohio County Fair, In Hartford KY

Carney folks started dropping off gear Sunday the 18th, Fair is to run from the 22nd to the 24th of Sept.
Watching the drivers drop the equipment had me recalling the days when I was with Ringlings Bros. I used to drive the Bus from the train to the site the show was at, and then when we moved to a new city drive one of the trucks overland.






Monday the 19th...  Carney workers have started to set things up even in the rain. Today is wet, gray, and cool. We are all hoping things are nicer by Thursday..





Tuesday the 20 and it is once again raining, seems like it has rained at least part of the day for the last week. Run my heater for part of the day not to get warm but to get the clamminess out of the rv. Hoping to see some sun later today, would be really nice to have a night without rain so I could sleep for more then a few hours, sound of it hitting the roof wakes me up...  Some progress has been made setting up the rides and a new water thing was installed. ( right behind my space )



Wednesday 21st....  Fair starts tomorrow and it is raining once again. The Carneys have finished setting up the rides so now have to see if the rain lets up or will it be a wash out??  As far as any Motor homes the place is still on the empty side...

I have told you the story of my father being a carny guy he did all the usual stuff and rode a motorcycle in the steel round cage! That was back in the depression when jobs were hard to get so he did what he could to make a living.
