Egeskov Market 2016

First purchase of ride tickets.

As always, we attended the annual Egeskov Market on the 3rd Wednesday of September (as of next year, on the weekend before the 3rd Wednesday of September!). And as always, the fun fair was the biggest attraction for the kids.

The fun fair has a ticket system where you have to go to a central booth to buy tickets that are valid for all the rides. Guess it has something to do with the management wanting to know how much cash flows in...

I did make a couple of purchases, a black cane with a wolf head handle, and a set of pewter wine and port goblets, but more about those in a later post.

The fun fair is not that impressive in full sunlight

Another ride - nobody gets me into one of those!

Bumper cars - more fun than last year

After supper, we went to the fair once more

This time, we went up on the Ferris wheel in the dark

Anna can look a little spooky at times

There is something about a fun fair at night

That was all from this year's market - although I may post some pics of my market finds one of the next days...

Egeskov Market 2015

As I am sure I have mentioned somewhere before, the field used as the marketplace for the annual Egeskov Market is just on the other side of the railroad from our back yard, and of course we have been attending the event every year, since we moved here.

The market is always accompanied by a fun fair, and it is naturally the main attraction for the kids. So, even though the weather was cold and looked like it might rain, I went there in the afternoon with Anna and Lea.

My kids are in that one.
You'll have to take my word for it.
Would have made me vomit.

This thing goes round and round sideways.
Also would have made me vomit.

Anna really is prettier when she is not squinting because of the sunlight.

Our property is somewhere behind the hedge in the upper right corner.

The bumper car. Not much bumping going on, but the girls insisted.

Looks like they had lots of fun, anyway...
