Carole...Fairs are my absolutely, positively favorite thing to do this time of year!

Great pictures and a beautiful day!

Carole - That looks like such fun!  I never think of this type of thing when I think of Long Island!  LOL  Guess I conjure up the stereotypical image of New York.  Thanks for sharing!

Carole, Oh that fair looks like such a fun time.  Like Joan, I love fairs!

Carole, I see I'm not the only one who blogs about fairs and festivals :)  Looks like you had a great time!

Carole, with summer exiting, I have to say that fall is becoming my favorite time to live out here.  We're lucky- I absolutely LOVE fairs and festivals!

CAROLE:  I used to go to this every year when I lived in Bellmore.  It's been a number of years since I've attended, but it was always a good time.  That collection of cars made out of cans was very cool.

What beautiful pictures, Carole ! It looks like you had a fantastic time ....two fairs in one day~WoW, you're ambitious.   ((-:

The best part about fairs for me is always the cotton candy.

Hi Carole,
The best thing about Fall is fairs and festivals, I love them.  I love the parades, exhibits crafts and shows, I'm not really big on the rides anymore.  I know you had a great time.  We will be attending the Morehead City Seafood Festival this coming weekend in the county my parents live in.  It's a great event.  Oh yes, your photos are awesome--love the cat!

Carole ~  Fairs are great and the Bellmore one, although I haven't been in years, is something I used to look forward to.  North Bellmore is where my parents moved our family from Brooklyn (when I was 12), and my sister, who still lives in a nearby town, goes every year.  As a new mother, she is now bringing her children along for this experience. 

Wow! This place looks like fun! I will be going to one this weekend in Louisville Ky. I can't wait. I loved the pic you took about the beer can toys. You know how I am always having critters at my doors? Today there is a super large beautiful moth 3" long at my front door and one just like it on the deck at the back door. Are they guarding me??? LOL 

Carole--Great photos! It looks like you had a fabulous time. I hope the kitty found the perfect new home!:)

Carole - I too love the fall.  The Bellemore Fair looks like a lot of fun, something for everyone.  Great Shots.

Dont you re-live the excitement when you look at the pictures after the event is over?  that is best part about photography  :)

Now that looks like fun.

Carole-

You share my love of this time of year with it's fairs and festivals. Your pictures are gorgeous. You captured the spirit very well. When I visited my state fair last week I focused on my friend's achievement. I will copy a link to it on my site to share it with you.

Joan, I thought of you and your wonderful road trips!  I'm about ready for one myself although I heard them say on TV that Fall has officially been cancelled :)

Carol, We started off here as potato fields :)  Funny that you think of Long Island as the city, not that it isn't turning into one....hurry and visit before it does!

Candy, I believe I'm supposed to grow up but I still love them...and I keep going.

Lisa, You have some terrific fairs there, I would love them all.  I will be exhausted soon from over-fairing (I know, it's not a word).

Laurie, If I were you I'd be heading to the Riverhead one, I've never been there.....or the weather is supposed to stay beautiful, heading out on a boat sounds wonderful. 

Adam, I bought them for my kids when I first saw them, they are wonderful. And now that you've called to my attention the Huntington Fair, I will have another TWO this weekend!  I would have missed it, that's a terrific fair (and I love that town).

Jo, The weather has been SO beautiful for them, too.  It is still 80% here.  I hate to miss these fairs, they only come once a year.

Cynthia, Take pictures, I love to see Fairs even if I'm not there in person.  I loved that cat immediately, I would have taken it in a heartbeat if I didn't have the dogs.  Thankfully it was from a no kill shelter.

Kathy, You should have gone, you probably would have loved it!  If you're going to be anywhere near Farmingdale or Huntington this weekend for those fairs, call me.

Lizette, I don't know, I'm not sure what a moth means.  Interesting you would say that, I had a huge grasshopper right near my front door and was wondering what THAT meant!  I haven't seen one in a few years.  Have fun at your fair and post please, I would love to see the pictures.

Teri, It was a great time.  And then on to the next where we met my son.  That brought back some nice memories.

Jennifer, You have wonderful things going on up in your area.   Give me the heads up when the leaves are changing, I would love to take a drive.

Mehmet, Yes, these photos I'm keeping safe.  All my photos go now onto a disc, they are priceless.  Thank you for your comment.

Ginger, It was, by the time we got home from the second fair we were exhausted.  Now if I could just hold up through this weekend....

Carole- Looks like lots of fun. You took some great photos, thanks for sharing. Katerina

As usual, your picture stories look like so much fun and you make it entertaining for us too!

Katerina, Thank you for your comment.  I fear I'm never going to grow up!  I did have a great time.

Sally, I love your Localism posts and learn so much. They had a large turtle shell at one of the booths and I am not certain if it was the type you had been speaking of, but the man told us they were endanged.  This fair and the one I did not post about yet (for different reasons) were both wonderful.  Thank you for your comment.

Eloise, Thank you so much for the link.  I loved your post about your fair; you are a gift not only in the rain but to others all over!
