The story · 1987

The story of Plush Banana Midway

Every August the fairgrounds woke up: a Ferris wheel lit like a jukebox, a spinning ride that pinned you to the wall, and powdered sugar on every shirt in town. You threw rings at bottles for an hour to win a plush banana taller than your little brother. Then you visited the prize pig in the barn, just to be fair.

Fun fact

The fair's giant plush bananas were so popular that Route 9 was lined with them buckled into back seats every August.
