Last night when I drove past the fairgrounds on the 176th Street side I noticed 3 carnival type trucks & trailers in the parking lot off 62nd Avenue. One was a trailer with the tilt a whirl ride. I remember thinking when I was a kid they resembled half an apple. The ones I saw looked like half a strawberry. I didn't think anything of the vehicles. Carnival folk and other truckers occasionally overnight and park in this lot.
This morning a truck pulled out in front of me pulling a food trailer that announced chicken fingers, french fries, and fries with gravy. Unfortunately he turned up 64th Avenue, the direction I was going and was unable to maintain the speed limit up the hill. Neither along the flat section once we crossed 184th Street.
I turned down 188th Street and that was the last I saw of him.
When I returned mid-afternoon I saw the preparations of a fair of some sort underway. Now lots of rides and food concessions are setting up. It appears Cloverdale is getting ready for a small fair this long weekend.
This web page announces events in Cloverdale, but there is no mention of a fair being held in the parking lot north of the curling rink.
