Carnies: Day 11: The Gamers "STEP RIGHT UP! EVERY ONE A WINNAH!"


Sandy's in action. Now the gamers are sort of the rear guard for the Carnival. The rides and ride operators show up a week in advance but the gamers and food concession folks arrive en masse a day or two before the show starts. Gamers also have far more contact with the public, for obvious reasons. They also work on commission. Feel free to walk away from a game barker with a polite no thank you and they will move on to the next person on the midway but do not make eye contact and then just walk away without any response, they'll watch you walk away and call you a name. Heh heh Of course not any that I met with THIS fair. Posted by Picasa

jkirlin busted 1 with his complimentary 3 pitches. Throwing against the tin was almost as much fun as breaking the bottle. Posted by Picasa

Joanne and friend. This is a big improvement over last year. Last year Joanne advised me that if I pointed my camera at her again I'd be taking colon shots with it. Posted by Picasa
