After my annhal ronnd of fall fairs, I'm
trying to decide which has changed Most -
the rOldvilliY tides or mez,
Whpn I vvas a kid, the midway was my
favourite part of every fair. Friends And 1
dragged parenta, older sisters or brothers
or whoever" was lucky enough to acorn-
PanY us up and down the rows of rides.
Every attTaction had t be tried at least
once. ,The roller coaster was my favourite,
and my customary cry at the end of each
was "One more time!"
Things were simple then. dive the man a
ticket;, take a spin. If you wanted another
ride, give him another ticket and you were
away again.
I figured I saved folks trouble by staying
put when a ride stopped. Why daintier_
down when I knew I'd inevitably be back
fora second time?
Excitement, fear and exhilaration were
all rolled into one. Most important of all, it
was fun. If my knees felt shaky or my
stomach queasy, I didn't notice.
As I grew older, I sensed a subtle
change. I became choosy about the rides I
tried. In fact, I could spend a whole night -
just wandering around watching and
listening, trying to, decide which one to
take first.
Friends intimated I was chicken, bu,t I
always had a legitimate excuse. didn't
want to wait in line. 1 wanted to see all the
rides before I chose one. I thought I'd
rather ride the one away back at the
entrance, I didn't feel well.
Wouldn't you know it? By the time I
made1y decision, either my companions
were ready to go home or the fair was
closing its gates. I was always a good sport:
though. '"That!_s okay. wait til next
year," I assured everyone.
Now I don't try to fool myself or anyone
else. I look at a giant ferris wheel and think
how fabulous the view must be from the
top. But on second thought, I decide I
prefer the view with my feet planted firmly
on the pavement.
I get dizzy watching people spin and
twist and turn. I listento their screams of
delight mingled with screams of fear.
I see people suspended upside down,
aid I think, "If I tried that, I might as well
Jorget_about_supper."
I watch people climb out: some lean on
each other; some hold their stomachs and
look a little pale; some grin more broadly
than others; most are headed for the next
ride.
The rides seem bigger, faster and more
thrilling than ever before. Many ,are new
and innovative. Even the names sound
exhilarating - Sizzler, Zipper, Pirate Ship.
Midway rides, like everything else, cost
more money these days. The number of
coupons required varies with each ride.
Call me chicken, if you like, but the
money I save on midway rides will be
invested in something practical. such as
food. The only "sizzler" I'm interested in
is the one on the grill. -
Kids pick their favourites
The children of Huron
County Public Library and
the Midwestern Region have
chosen their top ten

They are:
"Jacob Two -Two Meets
the Hooded Fang" by
