State Fair Meadowlands
Today you have pictures both on the ground and in the air.
Sophie Stone noted that I had State Fair Meadowlands ID badges from 2004 to present day on my visor. Neatnik that she is, Sophie arranged them in chronological order. One might ask why Sophie was in my car. We were on our way to assist Borough Administrator and Paramus Sunrise Rotary Charter President Anthony Iacono as he fulfilled his volunteer obligation to deliver Meals on Wheels.
State Fair Meadowlands.. Upon arriving at the fairgrounds after wending my way around Route 17 congestion, I went over to the fair business office to get my ID badge. There was a long line outside the business office trailer where they were taking ID pictures. One very nice young lady took pity on me standing in the hot sun and told me to go ahead of her troop. It was hot; I took advantage of the offer!
After getting the ID, I walked down to the eastern terminus of the Sky Ride snapping pictures as I walked. At the terminus, I had to wait for the NJ ride inspectors to finish before my friends put me on. It was the first time in all these years that I had ridden this route and was busy snapping pictures; some at random.
I hope you enjoy them!
