The Fair - No Escape
Andrew Shecktor (2024)
There was a table of authors at the back of one of the buildings at the Bloomsburg Fair this year who were signing and selling copies of their book. This one drew me in as soon as I laid eyes on it. A horror story that takes place right here that references specific people, places, and things on the Fairgrounds? Sign me up!
I haven't started it yet, but it's not long so I'm going to set aside some time this weekend to read it.
Mr. Shecktor's book wasn't the only horror to be found at the Bloomsburg Fair this season. This incredible Audrey II cake was on display along with the other cakes, cookies and brownies that were entered into the baking competition. It won second place in its category, but it would have absolutely taken home the blue ribbon if I was judging.
I didn't see a name on the tag, but whoever was responsible for this cake did one hell of a job. It couldn't have been easy to get the head to stand up on the stem like that.
There were a few food vendors that got into the Halloween spirit, including The Meating Wagon. I was pretty full by the time we passed by here so I unfortunately missed out on trying their food, but the display was very cool!
Finally, one of the vendors near the rides at the back of the Fairgrounds had this tapestry flying over their tent. If you found yourself at the dinner table with this group, it's a pretty safe bet that it would be your last supper.
