Canberra Show

We went off to the Canberra show, Friday night, taking one of Demelzas friends from school with us.

Cenedra and Demelza each had $50. Upon arrival three very exited girls chatted and squealed baout what they would buy which rides would be the awesomest scariest radical shit- my- pants-ist to go on.

We let the big girls go and do their thing, and proceeded to the show bag area and checked out sideshow alley.

Cednera wanted to win anything at sideshow alley and no amount of convincing from me stopped her from donating her hard earned money to the crooked carnies.

She won two small toys, and one of them , was taken from her by a great toothless ball tossing carny who said she would swap it for a larger toy. no questions, he took her prize and directed her to another bin of unattractive chinese produced soft landfill (probably toxic and highly unethically produced rubbish) . Cedie was a little confused about now having one toy to show for the ($$$ fortune) money she had donated ( kids don't necessarily need quality but quantity is a good measure of success and when back in the real world the weigh- in of fun to expense is heavily off the beam. one toy -$$$

The pavillions were terrific such a lot of crafts and displays , Canberra has a tremendous array of diverse and interesting activities to be involved in.

The Honey people had an enourmous wild hive from a local backyard and lovely honey to taste.

the flowers delightfull. The fruit and vege displays were a good try but nothing beats the arrangements of the Stanthorpe show, all those farmers in the district displaying their best produce and the designs are always new and exiting.

Wevenjoyed the displays and demonstrations and the farm animals which are always wonderful.

Our ferris wheel ride was a highlight. A great time had by all.
