If tonight’s not fair weather I don’t know what is. Good luck *starting tomorrow* to the great Bloomsburg Fair. Hope people show up in the hundreds of thousands… It was cancelled by a flood last year for the first time in 100+ years. The first time. Think about that.
So that is what makes this year’s fair all the better.
Give me the Gyros (though I don’t eat them) and the halushki.. give me the freak shows and the Native American bands.. give me then bleenies and the snake-girl! I want it all!
I want the cheap knock off ShamWows.. I want the bizarre people selling honey. I want the crazy man selling pianos. I want it all!
Give me the grease, the guy in the trash can who follows people around, the pigs and cows and the dog show for $.50.. Kenny Rogers will be there, too. Can’t beat that, right?
For Coal Regioners who understand this fair, it’s an amazing time. Think about this.. since the 1800s people have been going to Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, for the biggest fair in the state. I have been going since 1980 when I was born. And all through time, lovers kissed under cold starlit nights, families laughed while playing games .. children were in awe of the show. It’s back again.
So I wish them good weather and great memories.
The Bloomsburg Fair’s 157th fair is set to begin after a long hiatus due to earth changes. Glad it’s back!
