    Oh man! Totally want to go to the carnival. Thanks for letting me know because I never venture out there to the sketchy part of town. If they have a tilt-a-whirl, I'm so there!

    Katherine - I'm pretty sure they do Ride all you want tickets are $20.00 and you can leave and come back anytime during the day! Early and late is best time, not so hot and a few less people.
