title: sept 6

this seems to be a weekend for fairs. in a true testament to the nature of america, this one is completely different from yesterday's. instead of samosas, funnel cake. instead of traditional dance, freakshows. instead of mehendi, face painting. well, maybe it's not so different after all...
if someone were to ask me to sum up the nature of america, i would point them to a carnival such as this one. this is what it is. just in case any of you were wondering, these photos were taken at the great allentown fair in allentown, pa (where my friend meg goes to muhlenberg college!). the fair will be open until labor day (cripes, that's tomorrow!), so get your butt in gear if you want to visit it.
