Sunday we decided to go out and frolic with the local folks in town. We headed for the carnival located next to the river. Nothing beats little kids eating corn dogs while alligators linger about! This was a big event which included a pro-life stall displaying babies in the womb, rusty rides (the haunted mansion ride looked pathetic), a country music band (no likey), and a duck race. The duck race was what we were really after.

When we arrived at the ticket booth I forked over $10 to Mr. Mogul, which he slipped to the girl behind the glass. She handed back two red tickets and then we both literally walked one step where a guy instantly took them and threw them in the trash! It was a funny moment! See the guy in the photo? What is the point of selling tickets if a guy is RIGHT there to take and trash again?

I was wondering what happened to the right duck’s costume. Perhaps the fat one ate all his food?

Here’s the truck unloading the ducks into the water. Each one had a number and I was praying that we were going to win one of the six prizes.

The winning duck. First prize won someone a seven night Caribbean cruise! We didn’t win. (sob!) I think it was fixed!

Funniest sign before you enter a ride. Reading, “Larger People May Not Fit. Sorry For The Inconvenience.”

In all, it was an okay time. Back to the pro-life stall I mentioned in the beginning of the post, the lady had these plastic models of unborn babies next to the pork rinds! BLEH!
