This is our 4th summer in Brockton, but we had never been to the fair. Probably because it, well, doesn’t have the best reputation. but we decided since we were in Brockton on July 4th and we wanted to see the fireworks, we’d go. I’m glad we did! It was pretty crowded, and we weren’t there long, but it was fun. the ride company is the same one that does the Hebron Fair- sadly I wasn’t allowed to go on rides yet because of the surgery. But we ate fair food, watched some demolition derby, listened to some music, and enjoyed the atmosphere. The fireworks were great- I’ve never actually been that close to where they’ve been set off, it’s much more immersive when they’re right over you like that.

Not sure what this old building was. Rob said they should make it into a haunted house.

I love being at the fair this time of day.

I'm kind of dying to go on this ride.
