Secret of Bumper Car Driving

Hammering big nails may be a matter of wrist action or where you hold the hammer (see yesterday's post) but it is clear that the secret to bumper car driving is to hold your tongue just exactly right.

The Midway

What could be better than to be flung around at high speed in a shiny green plastic chariot on a sunny afternoon in June?

Screamfest

Before we leave the Oak Bay Tea Party behind for this year I thought I would share with you some screams from a popular midway ride. I'm sure I don't understand why anyone would pay to have an experience that makes you scream but they do and here's proof (video below is 1 minute long).

Rides - Oak Bay Tea Party

It's that time of year again when the carnival midways pop up in various locations around Victoria. Last weekend these rides graced the Oak Bay Tea Party at Willows Beach. This weekend the midway will light up Esquimalt for Buccaneer Days.

Saanich Fair

For the last 145 year Saanich Fair has been an event not to miss on Southern Vancouver Island. Running over the Labour Day weekend they have many, many interesting displays and events from horse riding, vegetable creations, farm animals and much more. We spent a pleasurable afternoon and evening there taking in the sights and sounds. Highly recommended! - Fern
