Fair play

Word on the streets Up North is that Carter took the Polk County Fair by storm yesterday. He is staying with Grandpa and Grandma Hedberg on the first leg of his trip and they had to go pick up their entries (baked goods, house plants, antiques) at the close of the fair.

My sister Renell met them there so Carter had someone "brave enough," as he put it, to go on a few rides. Though he claimed the Tilt-A-Whirl did her in, I haven't gotten confirmation on that.

He then turned to the many games of chance along the midway. Apparently all his dart playing in Grandpa Austin's basement has paid off. He was able to pop a lot of balloons for a lot of prizes that I can't wait to see. He also cleaned house in some fishing game and the ring toss.

Who knew he had this hidden talent for carnival games?! I guess county fairs are his thing. With his newly shaved Mohawk, he probably fit right in with some of those carneys, too!
