Summer in Cincy Means Festival Time


Mr. Snappy Peanut and Other Random Carni Things

With the summer season comes the festival circuit.  And boy is Cincinnati mad for festivals. There is literally a festival every single weekend here during the summer.  If Pieti had her say, we would go every night of every weekend to a festival.  We limit it to a few but we have still managed to find ourselves becoming familiar with the various carni characters who run the game, food, and ride booths.  It seems they make the circuit rounds as well and the same folks return every year to run the booths.

Pieti is wondering why I look like a bug with Crystal Gale hair.
Seriously, get thee to the hair salon.




I am just so glad that Pieti is still too small to ride most of those crazy rides that look like they are held together with little more than duck tape and a prayer.  Sheesh.  



I suppose I am ok with the random swinging cars that have crazy googly eyes and painted lady lips while also covered with Flintstone characters, but nothing prepared us for Mr. Snappy Peanut this year.



Seriously, someone thought he was a good idea to recruit kids to come to the peanut drop on Saturday.  Too creepy for words.  And Pieti, who would gladly juggle flaming rusty nails, was in agreement.
