T.iving it up Fair tragedy no damper on spirits Whether it was eating, playing games, riding rides or going through buildings to get free samples, the fair offered a variety of activities for a variety 4 of people. The fair was a bit different for most people this year as far as the rides go. Because of the accidental death of two patrons as a result of a car falling from the Enterprise . students were more careful about which rides they rode. “We rode the ones that looked like they were safe, said Cindy Asensio. We were analyzing every ride because we didn't want to die. We didn't ride anything where the cars were separated. If students didn’t feel safe on the rides, they could go through the haunted houses or see the freak shows. But these acivities weren’t met with much praise. The Haunted House (at the end of the midway) was the worst thing at the fairground. said Candy. The kiddie rides were scarier than it was. We went to see the turtle woman, but it was so stupid. said Martha McIntyre. It was just a woman’s head with a turtle's body. You could tell it was an optical illusion. Meeting friends played a major part in the fair, but even that didn’t work out all of the time. “We met some friends and walked down the midway, but then we lost them,” said Cheryl Allison. We were going to watch the Dr Pepper Circus, but it had already started by the time we got there, because we had spent so much time looking for everyone. I hated this Fair Day.” Even though the fair had a variety of things it just didn’t meet everyone’s approval. The fair has really gone down the drain. said Martha. Everything was too expensive.” said Cindy. But the Fletcher’s corny dogs were worth it.” -Short Stodghill Lisa Newsome throws dimes at dishes while Stephanie Coulter and Bryan Banks look on.
