Acton Fall Fair - September 21st, 2019

Day two (September 21st) of the 106th Acton Fall Fair was another fun day! The weather was yet again nice and warm, allowing many people to come take in the sights and sounds of the fair.

In the afternoon, my good friend Travis came up for a visit to see the Acton Fall Fair. We checked out the venues and rode a few rides together, as he hadn't been to the fair in four years. Overall, it was another great day! Photos from day one of the fair can be viewed here.

After arriving at the Acton Fall Fair in the morning, I headed into the Dufferin Community Centre to look at more of the entries.
Here are the jams and preservative entries.
Over here are the photography contest entries.
There were many baked goods and antiques entries at the fair this year.
After looking at the home craft entries, I headed over to the Poultry barn. There, the judges were judging the chickens and ducks.
On Saturday, the midway rides do not open until 11am.
The midway rides sat quietly as they awaited the 11am opening.
Nearly an hour later, the midway and fairgrounds were bustling with fun and excitement!
The Carousel was greatly enjoyed by the young children visiting the fair.
Zero Gravity was thrilling a few passengers in the early afternoon.
The Avalanche always seem to draw a crowd regardless of the time of day!
A ride on the Scooter bumper cars is a fun time for visitors of all ages!
Children of all ages enjoy taking a try at the Balloon Popping game as they can win a prize every time they play.

The lawn tractor pulls are one of the highlight events on the track at the Acton Fall Fair. They continued well into the evening.
Saturday evening is the busiest time to visit the fair. The warm weather helps draw even larger crowds.
Travis and I rode three rides together, which included the Tilt-A-Whirl, Berry-Go-Round, and the Mulligan Wheel.
The midway always comes to life as the sun sets off in the horizon.
The Orbiter was quite a blur as it hurtles passengers in to orbit.
The Cuckoo Haus fun house was quite bright and was extremely popular during the day.
The warm summer-like evenings are the most enjoyable times to visit the fair.
After Travis headed home, I captured this vibrant shot of the midway.
Here I am on my favourite midway ride, the Tilt-A-Whirl!
The Scooter bumper cars boasts a colourful array of lights.
The lights on the Himalaya were quite flashy. It's too bad that a few of them were burnt out.
The strobe lights on the Zero Gravity were flashing mid-way through the duration of the ride.
Here's a view of the midway from the Tilt-A-Whirl before taking my final ride of the night on it.
After another great day at the Acton Fall Fair, it was time to head on home! Photos from the third and final day of the 106th Acton Fall Fair can be viewed here!
