Wayne County Fair in Goldsboro

On the truck after the fair

My daughter and her cousin traditionally go to the Wayne County Fair in Goldsboro every year together. It was in October on a cool afternoon at dusk when my daughter Hannah and her cousin Thomas decided they were hungry. What better place to have a picnic but on top of her Uncle Ray’s truck? Thomas and Hannah were not only exhausted from riding all the rides, but they were still so excited and wanted to talk about them to each other.

I laid a towel out on top of the truck for them to sit on. The Ferris wheel was in front of them so they were able to watch the riders and hear their screams of excitement. Sitting there eating hot dogs, cotton candy and drinking Pepsi was the finishing touch to a perfect day. After seeing the picture with the American Flag and the Ferris wheel I realized this is what memories are made of.
