We made it to the fair Tuesday night, arriving early so we could see all the lights come on at sunset. The noise was deafening at times, and for no good reason. But, the crowds were easily manageable and the sights and lights were wonderful. San Geraldo headed home once he saw everything lit up. Judy and I stayed around a bit longer and watched dance performances by student groups of different ages. The people watching was beyond compare. Phallic balloons were unusually popular this year.
