Topsfield Fair Opening Night
Details
We haven't been to a fair in years. Let's try the Topsfield Fair! This is another annual event, always fun, with lots to shoot: events like the motorbike stunt show, rides in motion, street photography, agricultural exhibits and other fun subjects. And, of course, the winner of the Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off! You can go to the Topsfield Fair website to read more about what's going on.
Please note: the stunt show starts an hour before the meetup. I'm going to try to get there for that. Assume the show features rapid movement and suboptimal lighting.
Friday is opening night. The weather is supposed to be cooling off during the evening, so dress for the 50s (temps, not decade.)

Parking is FREE on opening day, which is when we'll be there. Try Lot B or Lot A first (if coming up route 1 from the south, they will be before the fair.)
Entry fee - if purchased online, in advance, is $15.

Wide angle, telephoto lenses, anything goes. I couldn't find any info about tripods on the website, but I plan to bring one for the amusement rides and shows inside the Arena.
As always, no guests, please. Sorry for the multiple screw-ups in scheduling this meetup.
