Acton Fall Fair- Sunday, September 16th, 2018

Day three of the Acton Fall Fair quickly rolled around! Be sure to check out photos from a very warm Sunday below! Be sure to take a look at day one and day two of the 105th Acton Fall Fair if you have not done so yet.

Here is a sunny and vivid midway!

From up on the Mulligan Wheel, you could see the midway below, including the Lolly Swing.

The new canopies definitely popped in the sun!

Here is Scott on the Mulligan Wheel.

Scott and I decided to take a ride on the Scooter bumper cars. They bump quite nicely.

During the afternoon, Scott and I's Aunt Rose, our Cousin Brook, and her two children, William and Sydney, stopped by for a couple hours to enjoy the fair. I took a spin on a couple of rides with them including the Monster Trucks and the Raiders, pictured here.

Here is a view of the Orbiter while Scott and I took our last ride at the fair on the Mulligan Wheel.

The midway sure was quieting down as the fair was coming to an official end at 5pm.

Around 5:30pm, once the fair had finished for another year, the rides began to come apart in order to be taken to their next location.

Here is one of the midway workers taking a gondola off of the Mulligan Wheel.

The Avalanche was beginning to be folded up for transport.

The Orbiter's fence was starting to come down.

Sizzler was beginning to fold up too.

Workers began to fold up the Orient Express kiddie coaster too.

Midway workers began disassembling the Orbiter by taking off its cars.

Here is the Sizzler folded up even more so.

The Avalanche was being further packed up just as I had left the Fairgrounds. Thanks for taking a look at my photos of an amazing weekend at the 105th Acton Fall Fair! :-)

Acton Fall Fair- Saturday, September 15th, 2018

Below is a look at day two of the 105th Acton Fall Fair. It sure was another hot one as the sun was out bright! Thankfully the clouds rolled through during the afternoon, which created some relief from the boiling sun! If you have not checked out day one of the 105th Acton Fall Fair, you can do so by clicking here.

Just behind where our tractor was on display at the Fair was a horseshoe pit available for some late Saturday morning horseshoe rounds.

Also at the same time there was a horse and buggy demonstration competition taking place at the track.

At 1:30pm, a dog show took place in the second ring of the midway.

The Lolly Swing was delighting visitors of young and old.

The Scooter bumper cars sure were popular on the Saturday afternoon!

The Himalaya sign was kind of saturated by the bright afternoon sun.

Zero Gravity was causing a few riders to get stuck to the wall as it tilted towards the ground while spinning at high speeds.

The Himalaya was providing a fast action-packed ride while giving some relief of the afternoon heat for some fair-goers.

The Berry-Go-Round was giving some spin-hungry riders a workout.

The Merry-Go-Round was providing gentle fun for the young ones just down the midway.

A Fall Fair just wouldn't be one without some agricultural aspects. Here are some Holstein calves on display within the Ag Awareness tent.

This young llama and its mother were seeking shelter from the sun under the tent.

Some 4-H members were showcasing their cattle at this year's Fair at the far end of the park.

A young game player had the chance to select a prize early in the evening after winning Rising Waters.

A dusky pink hazy sky rolled in as the sun was close to setting for the night.

Here are the lights of the Scooter bumper cars as seen from the Sizzler.

The Zero Gravity sure was whirling as darkness began to fall.

As darkness fell, so did the levels of visitors in the kiddie midway. But, the other midway was quite busy and filled with excitement!

The glow of the green and orange lights of the Merry-Go-Round make a nice backdrop for the horses.

The newly acquired Raiders looked quite spectacular at night.

I believe the Hi-Striker was a new addition to the midway this year.

The Mulligan Wheel sure sports an amazing LED light package.

The Sizzler also had a dazzling light show to display at night.

The midway was bustling on a warm Saturday night.

The Himalaya also had a very nice light show too. Unfortunately the lights on the cars weren't working. But, it still looked very nice.

Here is an up close and personal look at the Zero Gravity against the dark night sky.

Live performances were taking place in the Dufferin Rural Heritage Community Centre on Saturday night.

Here is another beautiful view of the Mulligan Wheel on the midway at the Acton Fall Fair.

After a long day at the Fair, we decided to head on home. Here is our Dad, my brother Scott, our Mom, and I together for a night shot. Sunday's photos at the Fair are coming up next! :-)

Acton Fall Fair- Friday, September 14th, 2018

This year marked the 105th Acton Fall Fair which ran from September 14th to the 16th! It sure was a popping good time (the theme was Popcorn) as the weather was sunny and warm all weekend long! Below are photos from Friday. Click the following links to view photos from Saturday and Sunday. Enjoy!

Here is a look up at Albion Amusements' Mulligan Wheel to start off a beautiful Friday evening.

Before we head further into the fairgrounds, here are some of the scare crows the school children made during the Education Day earlier that day.

Some attendees were enjoying a ride on the Lolly Swing in the early evening.

The midway of the fair looks quite sparse, but the crowds picked up as the evening went on.

Orbiter was a near silhouette as the clouds began to roll in.

The evening sun sure was gleaming on the Avalanche as passengers got a pop of airtime going around!

Scott and I decided to make the Mulligan Wheel our first ride of the evening. From atop the Mulligan Wheel, you could visibly tell how empty the midway was. But, that would soon change once nightfall hit.

The kiddie rides were all set up and looking nice with their brand new canopies.

Here is the Raiders as seen from the Mulligan Wheel. Albion Amusements purchased this unit late last year from the former Bates Amusements of Ohio. It sure was a crowd-pleaser with the youngest visitors of the midway.

At 7pm on the Friday night, the Acton Citizens Band performed for one hour inside the Dufferin Rural Heritage Community Centre. They do an amazing job!

As the sun began to set, the crowds began to thicken.

Here is a look at the Himalaya with its lights flashing in an attempt to attract thrill-seekers passing by.

Here is the Scooter Bumper Cars with the orange light of the sun shining on it.

Here is a somewhat busier view looking down towards the vendors.

Here is my brother Scott standing with our family's 70 year old 8N Ford tractor which we brought in earlier that morning for Education Day. It has been in our family since being purchased 70 years ago in 1948 by our Grandfather, Albert Brooks. Shortly after he purchased the tractor, it was put on display at the Acton Fall Fair of 1948 for all to see. We thought it would be appropriate to bring it back 70 years later. And yes, it still runs!

In less than 20 minutes later, the sun had fallen and the midway came to life with not only people, but lights on the rides too! Check out photos from Saturday at the Acton Fall Fair! :-)
