Working within a few blocks of Birmingham Michigan, I often attend the events in Shain Park. Days before the 46th annual Village Fair, I was downtown and saw the Ferris wheel going up. Being a favorite of mine growing up on the west side of Michigan, my attendance was almost guaranteed. I was going out of town the weekend of the Village Fair but it opened on a Thursday and it was my only chance. I worked until 8PM and it looked a bit like rain but I couldn’t resist stopping by. And sure enough, you will see my video view of Birmingham from the very top of the Ferris wheel. What’s more, the attendance was minimal at the fair in the evening and they said the ride required two people. They took mercy on me (the camcorder must have counted) and I was the only one riding and they stopped for a few minutes at the very top . . .

The rides were definitely the hit at the fair. I did encounter a young very excited boy (declined to be in the video) helping to locate his sister’s shoe. I saw them bringing a broom to the booth and stopped to inquire. He explained how they were riding “Freak Out” and his sister lost her shoe, which landed on the top of the tent. On a quieter note, I couldn’t resist filming the floating ducks – these brought back by earliest memories of picking one up to see the number and always winning something. It was great weather and all weekend and I imagined the crowds the Birmingham Village Fair must have had and the fun I would have captured – but then I wouldn’t have had my very own private ride on the Ferris wheel.
