I went to the Topsfield Fair back in 1978 and I enjoyed it a whole lot. It’s one of my earliest memories! I was just about 4 years old and I went to the fair with my Mother and Aunt Julie. The parking was terrible as I remember having to walk a very long way.
The topsfield fair is a couple hundred years old just about and it is held in Topsfield Ma every year. In fact, this year, the commission is looking to tackle the parking problem. Like most fairs I remember there were clowns (YUK!!!) and fun houses but my favorite ride back then was the giant slide! I remember clearly slowly walking up the stairs of that giant slide.
When I got to the top they put a blanket down and my mother and I got on and down we went! Ah, the memories of childhood are truly, truly wonderful. Cheers to the Topsfield Fair!
