Carnival fun

Once a year come spring time, a carnival comes to our town and the whole family enjoys spending an evening riding the rides, eating the foods and walking the Midway watching other people spend their hard earned cash on the games that are famous for being rigged.  I don’t mind spending money in order for my family to have some fun, but I’ll be darned if I will just hand over cash to a Carney so that my kids can throw a few balls or darts or anything else for that matter, so that they can bring home a stuffed animal that we could purchase anyway else for around $1 and will end up ultimately in a pile of other junk collecting dust and taking up room.
