The Minnesota State Fair!
i’m just a country mile behind / the world: mn state fair, september 2007.
parola del giorno:
wheelbarrow: carriola
quote to go:
“The first lights of the evening were springing into pale existence; the afternoon crowd had
thinned a little, and the lanes, empty of people, were heavy with the rich various smells of pop
corn and peanuts, molasses and dust and cooking Wienerwurst and a not-unpleasant overtone
of animals and hay. The Ferris wheel, pricked out now in lights, revolved leisurely through the
dusk; a few empty cars of the roller coaster rattled overhead. The heat had blown off and there
was the crisp stimulating excitement of Northern autumn in the air.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald, from “A Night at the Fair”
