Erin Fall Fair- Monday, October 8th, 2018

On Thanksgiving my Mom and I took a visit to the Erin Fall Fair since she had won a pair of free passes. The last time when we had visited was two years ago, on a very sunny and warm Friday. This time around it was very foggy and damp! Despite the fact, we still managed to make the best of our visit. Be sure to check out the photos below!

Here is the largest vegetables wagon located near the main gate as you enter the fairgrounds. The pumpkin in the center of the photo weighs 1,736 lbs! That was apparently a site record! That beet is also very large too!
Looking out towards the midway, all you could see was a ghostly image of the rides through the thick fog. The rides were provided by Robertson Amusements of Orangeville, ON.
The vendor area was quite quiet as the day was just beginning.
Since it was the final day of the fair, they had some equipment demonstrations and competitions taking place on the track.
They also had log cutting competitions too.
After watching some outdoor competitions, my Mom and I decided to head into the exhibitor's building. Here is a look at some of the floral entries. There were photo entries, vegetable entries, and other craft entries too. While we were inside, it had down-poured twice. 
Here is a look down the midway on this soggy day.
The Extreme Orbiter is the fastest ride on the midway at the Erin Fall Fair. For some strange reason, many of the rides had their backdrops folded down.
The Sizzler had its top display folded down too. It provided a very fast and forceful ride.
The Cliff Hanger was providing good but short rides throughout the day.
The Ferris Wheel was still moving fast, just like it was two years ago.
There was also an Ali Baba ride on site, as well as an Avalanche, a Scooters bumper car ride, a Merry-Go-Round, a couple variants of the Berry-Go-Round, and a couple of fun houses too.
Since it was foggy and somewhat rainy, this caused the Loony Lagoon spinning coaster manufactured by Wisdom Rides to have difficulties operating. It's drive wheels kept on getting wet. But, with a bit of patience and drying of the wheels, they were able to get it operating!
While it may not be big, it sure provides a whole ton of spinning that riders of all ages can enjoy! It provided a great ride like it had when I had rode it for the first time two years ago! Thanks for taking a look at our visit to the Erin Fall Fair!
