There’s nothing quite like the smell of cotton candy, caramel popcorn, and funnel cake. The sound of kids getting dizzy on carnival rides, and the cranking of the old ferris wheel. The same familiar voice welcomes you to the Charles County Fair over the loud speaker, and after you walk through that old gate you take it all in, feeling like you’ve come home again. Maybe it’s just us, but we grew up loving the fair. It’s been a part of our family for as long as we can remember. Everyone grows up looking forward to fair day. Some of the same rides from 30 years ago are still going strong, and when you’re at the fair it feels like a time capsule. Clothing and hair styles aside, you can walk around the fair grounds and forget what year it is. You can forget how old you are. This thing in our lives remains a constant. We always come back, year after year and feel that familiar and comforting sense of calm. Our family and lives may be growing and evolving but for this one weekend, this one day… we all go back to the fair.
