Day 12: The end of something good...

It's the last day... Sniff... Mom came over today and we made one final pass through the fair grounds, and of course I got my ceremonial final Pronto Pup. Sure, twelve days is plenty, but its still bittersweet to see the end come. Now, it's time for autumn with its pumpkins and chilly crisp air...

The clouds behind this massive spinning ride were interesting. It almost looked like the ride had a wake...

3 - 2 - 1 ... Houston, we have liftoff...

Ah, Houston, we have a problem. Mary Sue just wet herself...

More ride photos.

Good grief! Me and Charlie Brown (I'm on the right, by the way)...

My Mom and Charlie Brown.

We rode the sky glider again (it was my 4th ride for the fair -- wheee!) Anyway, we caught the start of the stock car racing at the grandstand. It was an amazing view of cars driving around really fast in a big circle.

Other people on the sky glider...

Fair Cops on their way to the mini-donut stand...

Hey, we even caught part of the parade from the sky glider... talk about good timing...

But, all good things must come to an end.

And that's it...

See you all in 2002...
