Carters Steam Fair & Poole
Posted by KaySquirrel on April 22nd, 2006
Today we decided to visit Poole just to have a change of scenery for a few hours.
Along the way, we’d stopped by the Carters Steam Fair in Binfield. We’d arrived just as they were opening, and hardly anyone else was there yet. We strolled around, looking at the vintage rides, and then continued on our way to the coast.
After our day by the seaside and a lovely dinner of fish & chips, we returned to the Steam Fair to await the fireworks display.
You CAN’T go to a fair and not go on a few rides, so I forced asked Will to go on the Octopus, the Dodgems, the Gallopers, and the Victory Dive Bomber with me. 
Each ride lasted a LONG time, so I think it was worth the money!
I liked the Octopus ride the best. Unfortunately, I’ve got bruises on my thighs from when Ploes squished me on the Dive Bomber! 
Still had a really nice time, though. The fireworks display, while not quite as impressive as L’International des Feux Loto-Québec (formerly L’International Benson & Hedges), was still a nice end to the evening!
Yay for pretty explosions!!
