Part of what I love to do is just sot of sit back and observe. Rocky Grove Firemen's Fair, like most fairs I suppose, is just loaded with symbolism and just plain old Americana. This area has a strong sense of wearing it's patriotism and showing its allegiances proudly.
I just observed and tried to make a few photos that showed the feel of the fair as well as the prevailing attitudes of most of the fairgoers.
Not a lot of Joe Biden shirts were visible. In fact there were two booths with very similar materials on both sides of the midway hoping the next three years go quickly and Donald Trump can be elected back into office.
One important thing though, people were getting back out and about and very few masks were warn as our area is closer to vaccination levels and a better sense of feeling safe. They came out in droves for this little fair that is a huge fundraiser for the fire department that looks after a very large township with its brother and sister departments.
And folks got out and had some fun, got some fair food and helped support the safety and well-being of their community. This may have been the driest Fireman's fair in ints long history. And as usually it ended with a bang!
