Day at the Fair

The bumper cars!

      On Friday I went to a Victorian fair called the Carter Steam Fair.  The fair was held in Royal Victoria Park, which is a large public park in Bath.  The fair was full of old-fashioned rides and games.  I played a game called Red, White, and Blue where I had to roll three balls into the right color lane.  I didn't win the grand prize but got a small bouncy ball for trying.  The games didn't seem worth the money so I headed over to the rides.  My brother and I went on the Helter Skelter.  It was a giant, twisting slide.  We each sat on a mat and went whizzing down the slope.  My favorite ride by far was the bumper cars.  I loved the way I could drive around and around the track at top speed.  I didn't like being bumped as much but sometimes a bump helped me move along.  I was really awful at getting going at first but by my second attempt at driving, I was a pro.
