Fairground People Sing This Song...

My 5th annual visit to the Sussex County Fair. Lights. Music. People. Food. Rides. Laughter. Friends. Fun. Same time next year, folks! Hope to see you (and yours) there! 7 August 2009.

Red Barn At The Fairgrounds

Off on its own, it rose from the valley: majestic, still and quietly proud. It was weathered but probably withstood a hundred winters. Far from the colors and commotion of the Midway and the mechanical grind of the rides. Big and red. Sussex County Fairgrounds. 7 August 2009.

Plastic Letters From The Past

Cool-as-hell vintage eBay find. Debbie Harry's 1986 "Rockbird" LP. Still with its original shrinkwrap and a price sticker from one of the now-defunct Crazy Eddie 'record and tape asylum' stores of New York. 7 August 2009.
