Saturday was just an amazing day, weather-wise, and was made even more amazing by a trip to HersheyPark!
Thanks to free passes provided by my very good friend Lynn, we were able to bask in the beauty of this day -- and also go on several roller coasters, the whip, the Wild Mouse, Coal Cracker, Trailblazer and several other rides.
The view from the Kissing Tower is outstanding!
The Dry Gulch Railroad may be a bit hokey, but I still love it!
Enjoying the cool breeze on the monorail also gives you a great view of the park.
But the carousel is still my all-time favorite! I could just ride and ride and ride...
It's that time of year again... COUNTRY FAIR DAYS!
This has been a staple of the community for ages, and it's always fun to walk the grounds, buy a funnel cake and at least do some people watching.
Even with the threat of rain on Thursday, we headed out to the fair.
The skies were dark and a bit threatening, but that didn't seem to dampen the spirits of those who braved the iffy weather. And because of the rain earlier in the evening, the crowds were thin and that meant the kids didn't have to stand in long lines to play games or take a spin on the amusements.
Watching the kids took me back to the days when our daughter was just a little tyke and Country Fair Days was a highlight of the summer for her. And of course on more than one occasion, a goldfish found its way to our home from the fair.
So if you haven't made it out to the fair yet, you still have Friday and Saturday. And don't forget the Country Fair Days Parade on Saturday morning! Head out and support this great community event!
