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.
i worked at the del mar fair (san diego) for 2 days for one of the vendors. there was crazy amounts of game barkers and i also got a couple of offers for a 'free prize'. i wasn't sure what that meant so i ran. fast.
