Kosciusko County Fair - Nubblies.net Forums

Alright. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to bitch. But honestly, the fair is terrible this year. I have talked to other people who I saw at the fair and they agreed with me. There are not very many rides, not nearly as many food stands, not as many games, basically, it's pretty empty. Now, I'm not saying it's not worth the time of going, but I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to go. I was disappointed with the smallness of the fair. I did have a good time hanging out with friends, and we did manage to get a free ride on the tilt-a-whirl, but the fair itself was nothing too exciting.

sim_flex_x · 07-22-2003, 03:05 AM

I also noticed the lack of usual rides and games

i spent quite a while walking around with some friends, and while i did enjoy listening to Ugly Bastard try to get free stuff from the carnies, the fair in general just didn't seem as "fair-like" as it usually does. Sure you have the disgusting carnies and the greasy food but it really was lacking this year

However dismal the fair may seem, you can always depend on those visiting the fair to keep things somewhat interesting. Tonight, I observed a young mexican girl being arrested for fighting. But the fun didn't stop there. I also observed a shirtless gentleman with a swastika tattoo on his chest as well as the words "white power" tattooed on his arm. This man was visiting the fair with his family which included a few children and a heavily tattooed wife.

sim_flex_x · 07-22-2003, 03:32 AM

i also saw both of those, I did a double take on the swastika guy :]
i also had a carnie tell me he'd be my boyfriend... he said he'd give me his trailor and take me out on the road if i'd just play his dart throwing game...

*side note, the only reason he did this is because someone denied being with me just so he wouldn't have to play the game...

scary carnies!

Ugly Bastard snapped a few pictures of the incident. Hopefully, with a little persuasion, he'll post them for our pleasure. It really was quite a scene.

If you want to waste our time with word games, we can play all day long. At the end of the fun, we'll be in the spot which we currently reside...with nothing gained. A temporary denial for not being pressured into a game is more than reasonable in my book. On a sidenote, I apologize

No persuasion in the world would be needed for me to do such a thing, I'd be happy to. One catch though: My digital camera was being a bit rashy last night, so there is a chance that I may have lost all of the pictures that were on it. I'd put the possibility of this right at 50-50. Either way, I'll dick with it some more tonight, and hopefully get the pics on here.

As for the fair, sure, it sucked; but what else are ya gonna do in Warsaw on a Monday night? I can't attest to whether or not it is smaller this year, because I've never paid attention in the past to know if it seems smaller this year.

Do I recommend going to the fair? Well, weigh your options, and if they're looking bleek, then why the hell not?

I do believe the Elkart County Fair is also occuring this week... and it's usually an assload better, you might want to take the 45 minutes drive up there instead.

getupkids · 07-22-2003, 04:30 PM

Warsaw fair was very lame this year, but what do you expect?
I definitely agree with Victim, Elkhart Fair is the way to go. But, if you don't want to make the drive, and you have nothing else to do, Warsaw fair is good to just walk around with friends. "even though you could do that for free, and not worry about nasty carnies hitting on you"

Happens to me all the time.

I don't really like the fair but I do enjoy that everyone from warsaw comes out at least once a week, so I get to see a lot of people that I promised I would call over the summer (and vice versa) but was just to damn lazy.

Did she look anything like this?

PS: Here is a picture of myself with the biggest badass of all carnies on the planet. He works at the "Throw A Dart At a Balloon" station...the man is a pimp. Visit him.

tonguegina · 07-22-2003, 11:47 PM

You must not forget, that he is also the man that offered to wisk slim_flex_x off her feet, as well.

Sure the fair itself wasn't as fun, but if you get a couple of really good friends together, you can make it a good time.

silver and cold · 07-23-2003, 12:15 AM

Yeah, it really did suck, I was very dissapointed, but I was with my friends so it was fine..
ALpha, I recall seeing you there tonight...you looked like you were having fun.

sim_flex_x · 07-23-2003, 01:11 AM

so i went to the fair again tonight with my mom, and as we were walking around we saw an ambulance and a huge crowd of people around. we didn't stop but i heard someone say something about a fight, and there was someone laying on the ground, though i think he stood up and was walking around afterwards...

Fruitacious B · 07-23-2003, 12:42 PM

That was me and im not alright, I am sad to announce that my left arm has been amputated, and also that it has taken me three times longer to type this reply.

So yes, the fair was crappy this year, as it is most years. But there's nothing better to do.

victim · 07-25-2003, 02:13 AM

Went to Elkhart County Fair tonight with some friends. Amazing. It's infinately better than our fair. Lots of rides, lots of good food, plenty of carnies, and many, many hot girls. Go now.

silver and cold · 07-25-2003, 08:37 PM

Fruitacious, your so dumb!

Cocktooth · 07-25-2003, 11:51 PM

I worked the dunk tank tonight for young tiger football...after walking around to get some food it was about the best thing they had to offer....man we were giving some nasty gestures as we made fun of people as they worked...it was fun...but that will be the only reason i ever go to the fair...
