Crews of Shriners show up a couple of days before the circus and begin working on making the thousands of bags of cotton candy on paper cones that will be sold during the shows.
This continues nearly non stop for 4 days until just before the last show.
At one point, I commented on the haze in the Auditorium and asked if it was from the fog machine inside one of the acts but the general consensus was that it was airborne sugar. Mmmmm.
More images can be found here.
circus is incomplete
ReplyDeletewithout cotton candy!
nice!
you couldnt do that down here, the humidity in the air is so high that the sugar would just dissolve. . .
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the pink stuff.
ReplyDeleteBut you can keep the blue. Ick.
zbjernak: And cotton candy gorging photographers.
ReplyDeletejik: SERIOUSLY?
wrath: I have 4.5 words about the pink stuff: Owens-Corning Pink Fiberglass Insulation. IU'll have the blue thanks. The world is too full of pranksters. Gah, my throat is itching at the thought.
wow -- first quick glance I thought this was a picture of a butcher shop with pig carcasses hanging up.
ReplyDeleteSo, wouldn't the blue stuff have the potential for old-lady-hair being mixed in? Guess you just got to payeth your money and taketh your chance.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome for that image (bowing politely knowing that JKirlin will never look at cotton candy and drool quite the same way ever again - for all I know it may positively enhance his experience)! :-)
You were licking yourself for hours afterwards, weren't you?
ReplyDeleteyuppers, i got cotton candy at a theme park a few years ago, and i ate a little of it and about 30 minutes later it was starting to dissolve and become this sticky syrupy mess... they have to make it fresh here as your want it, no storing it
